[The North American variety of ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Tod. var. pensylvanica, has been elevated to species status: Matteuccia pensylvanica (Willd.) Raymond, with a range that includes most of Canada and neUS, while the range of M. struthiopteris is now restricted to Eurasia.  Matteuccia pensylvanica (as M. struthiopteris var. pensylvanica) was first collected in Labrador in July 2010 from two islands in the Kenamu River by Stantec rare plant crew members, Sean Bennett, Michael Crowell, and Sue Meades (Stassinu Stantec Ltd. 2010).]
