[In the 2000 version of this checklist, the distribution in NL of Daucus carota subsp. carota, the wild subspecies of our cultivated carrot, was restricted to a few isolated locations in western Nfld. (Mann 1995, SWGC). Since then, populations of wild carrot have been documented from Gander (cNfld.), as well as sw/eNfld. (J. Maunder, pers. comm., May 30, 2015). There is one 1950 Labrador report by Gillett and Findley from Goose Bay (DAO), but it has not been located since, thus D. carota subsp. carota is now considered excluded for Labrador. The cultivated carrot, D. carota L. subsp. sativus (Hoffm.) Arcang., does not escape from cultivation.]
