Discussion
Variety edentula is introduced and naturalized on the Pacific Coast of North America, Japan (Y. Asai 1982, 1996) and Australia (M. G. Barbour and J. E. Rodman 1970; Rodman 1986), and sporadic on beaches of the Great Lakes, where it is likely introduced (Rodman 1974); it hybridizes with subsp. harperi on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (Rodman 1980).
