The most commonly used scientific name, which designates Sitka alder as a distinct species, is Alnus sinuata (Reg.) Rydberg [25,27,29,35]. However, more recent studies have shown Sitka alder to be a member of a circumpolar taxon distributed across America, Europe, and Asia [18]. This taxon has been separated into the following two subspecies [18,20,30]: Alnus viridis ssp. crispa (Aiton) Turill - green alder - northern North America, including northwestern N. America Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata (Regel) Love & Love - Sitka alder - northwestern North America Intermediate forms between these subspecies are found where their ranges overlap [5,18].
