Dwarf Alpine Hawksbeard (Askellia pygmaea (Ledeb.) Sennikov)
Also classified as Crepis nana Richardson, Askellia nana (Richardson) W.A.Weber, Prenanthes pygmaea Ledeb.
This species was recently reclassified from the Crepis genus into Askellia. Normally, in this case the epithet "nana" would remain the same; the name Askellia nana was proposed in 1984 by W.A.Weber, whereas Askellia pygmaea only dates to 2008, and normally older names are given preference. However in this case the name Prenanthes pygmaea was even older (1815) than Crepis nana (1823) and the epithet was changed to match that.

This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
This species is also native to Canada and Alaska and beyond; we have yet to build this portion of its map.
