 Comments
       
  Comment: Wagner & Grant (2002: 164) note that Botrychium boreale Milde has been 'recorded in North America, although the identity of the B. boreale-like plants in North America is in question, and likely represent either B. pinnatum H. St. John or B. alaskense W.H. Wagner & J.R. Grant'
