Small regional distribution and known from only three localities in possibly three ecozones around McTavish Bay, Great Bear Lake (A117). The locality mapped in B036 along the border of YT and NT is likely one of the YT collections since Cody (A117) indicates that collections are only known from Great Bear Lake (H154).One extra site found on pipeline route just north of Wrigley (RSC14)
