Discussion
Thalictrum minus has been reported from mainland Alaska (E. Hultén 1968); we have been able to confirm its occurrence only in the Aleutian Islands.
Initially pendent, the flowers become erect. The beak is 0.75-1 mm, much shorter than the achene, and not fimbriate.
Selected References
None.
