|discussion=<p>Of conservation concern.</p><!--
--><p>Douglasia beringensis has been found in western Alaska from the Seward Peninsula to the western Alaska Range; a fragmentary collection from the Yukon River in central Alaska is questionable. It differs from other northern species of Douglasia in the pervasive stellate hairs covering all vegetative parts. Douglasia gormanii has sparser forked hairs only on leaves and peduncles, not calyces; plants of D. gormanii also lack the silvery aspect that is characteristic of D. beringensis from its stellate indument.</p>
