[The name of the Baldellia species found in Newfoundland is now known as Baldellia repens subsp. cavanillesii; it was originally called Baldellia ranunculoides var. repens, but reseach by S. Talavera et al. now recognize it as distinct from Baldellia ranunculoides; there are 3 subsp. in Baldellia repens, the one in Newfoundland (subsp. cavanillesii) is found in Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, and north Africa. This species was first discovered in Newfoundland by Leila Clase in August, 2001, at Bristol's Hope, Avalon Peninsula, eNfld. (MT), where the population is still thriving (2023).
