Remarks
Michaux (Fl. Bor. Amer. 2: 29, 1803) used the name Cardamine virginica L.; in his treatment, Britton (l.c.) mentioned the following: ‘As I now understand these plants there is still a third eastern species, the Cardamine Virginica of Michaux. (Fl. Bor. Am. ii. 29, 1803), and C. hirsuta var. Virginica, T. and G. Fl. N. A. i. 85, but not C. Virginica, L. … As Michaux's name for the plant is preoccupied by the Linnaean, I propose for it Cardamine arenicola.’ Thus Britton published C. arenicola as the name of a new species and cited C. virginica sensu Michx. (non L.) as a synonym.
