Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
---|---|---|
Collomia linearis | Narrow-leaf collomia | Three pre-1940 collections by Anderson from Skagway (1) and Hyder (2), and one 1968 collection from Skagway appear to be the only reports of this species from the region. |
Gillia capitata | Bluehead Gilia | A pre-1941 report from Metlakatla (in Huten, included in AKEPIC database) is the only report of this species from the region. |
Microsteris gracilis | Slender Phlox | AKEPIC cites Hulten and a record from 1909 in Haines. Hulten's flora indicates two records (the second appears to be from Juneau). |
Polemonium acutiflorum | Tall Jacob's-ladder | A few (georeferenced) collections from the region, including Haines (1946), Yakutat (Situk River, 1977 and 1991), northern Admiralty Island (1999 and 2009), and the road system of Hecata Island (2004). |
Polemonium boreale | Northern Jacob's-ladder | Apparently no collections in ARCTOS of this species - records that come up in a search are all Pretty Jacob's-ladder (Polemonium pulcherrimum). The nearest collection records appear to be from just north of the region. |
Polemonium pulcherrimum | Pretty Jacob's-ladder | Collections in ARCTOS primarily from the Lynn Canal region, but also one each from the Stikine River, Admiralty Island, and Chichagof Island. |
