According to Rodman (1974), C. edentula var. edentula is a coastal taxon and var. lacustris is a Great Lakes taxon. He does report one specimen of C. edentula var. edentula from the shore of Lake Erie (Kneiskern s.n. at NY) as an introduction. The New York Flora Association (1990) records of "C. edentula" and particularly the ones from the Great Lakes area of New York need to be determined to variety. Currently the NYFA (1990) records of "C. edentula" from the Great Lakes region are placed under C. edentula var. lacustris.
