Roland C and Cook MB. 1998. A notable range extension for the globally rare endemic plant, CRYPTANTHA SHACKLETTEANA L C Higgins, in east-central Alaska. The Canadian Field-Naturalist. 112(1):158-160
A new location in the Mentasta Mountains, Alaska, is reported for CRYPTANTHA SHACKLETTEANA, a globally rare endemic known previously from two localities on the Yukon River in Alaska. The new locality is 240 km to the southwest of the Yukon River sites, and is located in a different physiographic province, the Alaska Range. The new locality suggests that this plant was formerly more widespread in Alaska than it is today.
