Antennaria friesiana (Fries' pussytoes) is an Arctic species of plants in the sunflower family. It is the northern reaches of Asia and North America (Russia, Alaska, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador, and Greenland). Many of the populations lack male (staminate) flowers and reproduce asexually.[2][3][4][5]
Classification of this and related species is still a subject of discussion, but The Plant List maintained by Kew Botanic Gardens in London recognizes four subspecies:
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. alaskana (Malte) Hultén - Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. beringensis V.V.Petrovsky - Russian Far East[6]
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. friesiana - most of species range
- Antennaria friesiana subsp. neoalaskana (A.E.Porsild) R.J.Bayer & Stebbins - Brooks Range in Alaska; Richardson Mountains + MacKenzie Mountains in Canada
