More Information About Laurentia

Because of this discontinuous range, taxonomists are divided on the number of species in Laurentia (I'd like to find some undivided taxonomists some day). Many members of laurentia have been split off into other genera including isotoma, porterella, palmerella, solenopsis, wimmerella, and pratia.
