Papaver lapponicum - enlever BC de la répartition canadienne #3021

Open FredCoursol opened 3 years ago

Bjork (2019) Similarly to Papaver radicatum, this species name was misapplied in northwestern North America (Solstad 2009; Elven et al. 2018). In the region, the name P. lapponicum has been applied to specimens of a variety of dissimilar species. In British Columbia, the name was generally applied to species that average taller in stature than those that were identified as P. radicatum.

Cependant, dans le même article, il exclut P. radicatum de BC. The typification of Papaver radicatum (discussed in Elven et al. 2018) clarified the species as one having a North Atlantic distribution. Even so, no taxonomic question in British Columbia was fully resolved by the typification, as the name P. radicatum was applied only as a catch-all for any of the shorter-stature native Papaver except the morphologically highly dissimilar P. pygmaeum and P. roseoalbum.
