Group: Vascular Plant, Species
Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
---|---|---|
Amaranthus albus | Prostrate Pigweed | Muller included it as being introduced in the Juneau area, but there are no collection records in Arctos, nor on the e-Flora BC map. Species is included in AKEPIC, but no records indicated for Southeast Alaska. Perhaps this species is not really established? |
Amaranthus retroflexus | Redroot Pigweed | Reported from the Sitka area (both on the Muller checklist, as well as on AKEPIC info sheet), though there are no collections in Arctos, nor any reflected on the e-flora BC maps, and AKEPIC does not have it occurring in recent surveys for non-native species, so it seems likely this species is not established. |
