Circumpolar plant species[edit]

The plant species cited in this article as having circumpolar distributions are stated by wikipedia's own pages to have arctic-alpine and/or circumboreal distributions. On the other hand, the animal species appear to be truly circumpolar.

In my opinion, the three plants should be eliminated from this article BUT first others should be identified with purely circumpolar distributions. Alternatively, if there are none, the the wording of the plant-paragraph should be modified.
