Concept ReferenceRamsey, J., A. Robertson, and B. Husband. 2008. Rapid adaptive divergence in new world Achillea, an autopolyploid complex of ecological races. The Society for the Study of Evolution. Evolution 62-3: 639-653.
Taxonomic CommentsRamsey et al. (2008) here expand the concept of Achillea borealis (= A. millefolium var. borealis) to include all native North American varieties: alpicola, arenicola, californica, gigantea, litoralis, megacephala, nigrescens, occidentalis, pacifica, and puberula. This treatment excludes the introduced A. millefolium var. millefolium, as Ramsey et al. note that "North American plants were clearly distinguished from Swedish A. millefolium var. millefolium".
