[The Nfld. report of Lepidium virginicum is based on Sabourin's range map (1992), which shows 2 collections, one in central Nfld. (Grand Falls: GH), collected in 1911 by Fernald, Wiegand, & Darlington, and one from St. John's, eNfld., collected by I.J. Green (SWGC). The St. John’s report was referred to L. densiflorum by S.G. Hay.  Since the one confirmed report from cNfld. (Grand Falls) is over 100 years old, Lepidium virginicum is now excluded from the NL flora.]
