Cardamine pratensis
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Cuckoo Flower (Cardamine pratensis): Range in FNA treatment indicates this species is primarily from the northeast part of North America though it is also found in British Columbia in the west (though stated range does not include Alaska). FNA also suggests most (if not all) populations of this species are introduced from Europe. Alaska records may be of a former subspecies that is now called Northern Field Bittercress (Cardamine nymanii).
ARCTOS has collections (not identified to subspecies) from near Yakutat (including one just across the border in Yukon Territory).
