|discussion=<p>In New England and Newfoundland, flowering phenology of <i>Diapensia lapponica</i> is bimodal (R. T. Day and P. J. Scott 1981). In some populations, one group of plants flowers in May through June, and another group flowers in a nonoverlapping period from late June through late August. The genetic basis for this has not been determined (M. M. Grandtner 1978).</p>
