Saxifragaceae of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago: a contribution to a DELTA database for interactive identification and illustrated information retrieval
A re-assessment of members of the family Saxifragaceae in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago is presented as a traditional key and annotated checklist that recognizes 17 taxa. The information on which this paper is based is recorded in a developing DELTA database that aims to collect the following data...
