Douglasia beringensis (Primulaceae) : a new species from northwestern Alaska
Kelso S, Yurtsev BA, Murray DF. 1994. Douglasia beringensis (Primulaceae) : a new species from northwestern Alaska. Novon. 4(4):381-385
This article by university researchers documents a new species of plant, Douglasia beringensis, from the Seward Peninsula, describing, illustrating, and comparing it to its closest arctic allies. The species is known from two locations 8 km apart near the northeast edge of the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and, equivocally, from a single specimen from Conglomerate Mountain in the Kokrines Hills. A key is provided for the nine species of Douglasia recognized in North America, and a discussion of the Russian and American taxonomic concepts of the genus is given.
