Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 OBS
In the far north, Tamarack is often a stunted tree with a much reduced crown, very short leaves, and cones with quite narrow scales. This form of the species is recognized by some as var. alaskensis (Wight) Raup, and is called Alaska Larch. The separation of the two has not received general acceptance. 5, record 4, English, - tamarack

Le nom d’«Épinette rouge», appliqué universellement par les Canadiens français au Mélèze, est très ancien; il était déjà généralisé en 1664. [...] Nos ancêtres, venus des provinces françaises de la plaine [...], ont voulu réunir, sous un même vocable(Épinette) diversement qualifié, tous les résineux qui leur étaient moins familiers. 3, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9l%C3%A8ze%20laricin

Dans l’extrême Nord, le Tamarac est souvent rabougri, à ramure très réduite, à aiguilles très courtes et à écailles de cône assez étroites. Certains auteurs le considèrent dans ce cas comme une variété distincte, nommé var. alaskansis (W.F. Wight) Raup, ou Mélèze de l’Alaska, mais cette distinction n’est généralement pas admise. 2, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9l%C3%A8ze%20laricin
