This widespread species s. lat. is boreal-montane in Europe, arctic-subarctic and boreal-montane in Asia and N. America. It forms a complex of several lower taxa (cf. Hultén, Circumpol. Il, p. 124, 348 ff.). Var. leucantha Makino in parts of E. Asia is mapped separately. The species s. lat. belongs to the circumpolar plants (Hultén, I. cit. and map 116).
