amphi-Atlantic species
amphi-Atlantic species The plants that are found on both sides of the northern Atlantic, along the seaboards of eastern North America and western Europe. This disjunct distribution pattern is thought to be largely inherited from a single circum-North-Atlantic coastal plain flora. Typical representatives are Carex paleacea (a sedge) and Ligusiticum scoticum (Scotch lovage).
