The extreme Beringian/Atlantic disjunction in Saxifraga rivularis (Saxifragaceae) has formed at least twice
Abstract Aim The oceanic Saxifraga rivularis L. presents one of the most extreme disjunctions known in the arctic flora: it has a small amphi‐Beringian range and a larger amphi‐Atlantic one. It was recently suggested to have had a single allopolyploid origin in Beringia at least one glacial cycle ag...
