Status Rank Description: 
Reference B003 indicates that an undated collection was reported by George Lawson from the Anderson R. at Ft Hope. The authors did not recognize this as a valid record. The northermost localities in Canada are in northern AB, BC and south-central YT. It is possible that the species may be found in southwestern Mackenzie region of NT but the Anderson record is well beyond the expected range of the species(H155).
Decision Process Description: 
Undetermined by E. Haber in 2004 (H155).; Reviewed in 2010, no change.; Reviewed in 2015 by Marilyn Anions; modified from undetermined to not assessed (error correction)
