The alpine flora of Teresa Island, Atlin Lake, B.C., with notes on its distribution
A comprehensive inventory of the vascular plants is provided for the alpine zone of Teresa Island in Atlin Provincial Park, British Columbia. A total of 161 taxa were identified from collections made during a research program conducted in the summers of 1974, 1975, and 1976. Of these taxa Arnica lou...
