Comments:

(1)Minuartia is here kept in its collective sense. The splittings of Reichenbach and Löve & Löve are not followed. Löve & Löve (1975) include a species M. jacutica Schischk. [their Neumayera jacutica (Schischk.) Á. Löve & D. Löve] not included in Fl. Arct. URSS and therefore omitted here. The genus should also probably be excluded from the synonymy. (Elven)

(2)The 'Arenaria' synonyms are added below because Canadian authors from Porsild to Scoggan (1978), and partly still, include Minuartia in a more widely circumscribed Arenaria. (Elven)

Comments:

(1)The differences between M. rossii and M. elegans are partly such as are to be expected between a southern seed-reproducing and a northern bulbil-reproducing part of the same taxon. However, cultivation of M. rossii under favourable conditions has not resulted in a similar reversal to flowering and seminifery as seen in C. regelii/jenisejense. I am therefore in favour of keeping them as taxa but perhaps rather as subspecies than as species. They have been 'reduced' accordingly. See, however, Wolf et al. (1979) for arguments for rank as species. (Elven)

Comments:

(1)Several authors despair about separation of M. arctica from M. obtusiloba. The confusion is also evident from the very different criteria given for the entities in most flora treatments. One should perhaps consider whether species rank is appropriate but there seems to be a distinct ploidy difference. As Löve & Löve (1975) include M. yukonensis in M. obtusiloba, M. yukonensis should be also considered part of this aggregate. (Elven)

Taken widely, some local tetraploid taxa in the W and N of Europe (among those A. pseudofrigida) are included on subspecies level. Since the relations between the many local European taxa in the complex are far from clear, a narrow species concept is preferred here." (Elven)

(1)The infraspecific variation is very complicated. The main diagnostic morphological features run across each other (see Uotila in Jonsell in prep., Flora Nordica 2). This should warn us against any attempt at subspecific classification in the checklist context, even if the northern plants most probably belong to subsp. sativa (Mert. & W.D.J. Koch) Celak. (1875), Prodr. Fl. Böhm. 3: 492, basionym: S. arvensis L. var. sativa Mert. & W.D.J. Koch in Röhl. (1831), Deutschl. Fl., ed. 3, 3: 360. However, the problem might be superfluous as I do not believe this species is stable anywhere in or near the Arctic. Species and genus should probably be omitted from the checklist. (Elven)

WARNING! Will probably be excluded as not stable in the Arctic.
