    Also known as: septentrionale

    A geographic epithet marking a plant native to the northern part of a range or territory rather than to a named country. It is the direct counterpart of meridionalis, and the pair is often applied within a single genus to separate two regional species. Appears as septentrionalis (both genders).

    Etymology

    From Latin septentrionalis, meaning "northern."
