Androsace americana, synonym Douglasia arctica, known as the Mackenzie River dwarf primrose,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the primrose family, Primulaceae. It is native to subarctic North America (Alaska, the Northwest Territories and Yukon).[1]
Taxonomy
The species was first described by William Jackson Hooker in 1838 as Douglasia arctica.[3] Molecular phylogenetic studies showed that the genus Douglasia is nested within Androsace.[4][5] The name "Androsace artica" was published in 1826 for a different species (now regarded as a synonym of Androsace ochotensis), so the replacement name Androsace americana, published by Per Wendelbo in 1961,[6] is used instead.
