This species was not included in Porsild and Cody (1980) although it was mapped for Fort Smith and Great Bear Lake by Hultén and Fries (1986). M Anions searched herbaria (CAN, Pacific Consortium, 2 BC herbaria, ALTA) without any results. No specimens are noted in the NT database, only included based upon a map, which then I think we shouldn't include the species.
