761 Sagina saginoides (L.) Karst.

Syn.: S. linnaei Presl

This arctic-montane plant (cf. S. subulata, no. 760) is a critical species with some geographically restricted lower taxa (Hultén, Circumpol. Il, p. 52, 320). In large areas it is fragmentarily known. It belongs to the circumpolar plants (op. cit.). The E. and SE. Asiatic counterpart S. japonica (Sw.) Ohwi is also mapped.
