[Potentilla usticapensis previously considered endemic to Burnt Cape, nwNfld., is now listed as a synonym of Potentilla pulchella. One plant of P. pulchella had been documented in 1999 at Cape Norman, nwNfld., in gravels likely quarried from Burnt Cape prior to the site being declared an Ecological Reserve; however this plant has not persisted.]
