Northern ground-cedar - kakillanartuq, kakillanautik / ᑲᑭᓪᓚᓇᕐᑐᖅ, ᑲᑭᓪᓚᓇᐅᑎᒃ [names in Umiujaq and Kuujjuarapik] (Blondeau et al. 2011) - *Diphasiastrum complanatum* (L.), is a circumboreal-polar plant species in the Lycopodiaceae, collected here for the first time on Baffin Island, Nunavut. This is also the first collection of the species for the Canadian Arctic Archipelago north of Hudson Bay and is a northern range extension of this species in Canada (GBIF.org, 04 October 2024). In Nunavut, this species is previously documented from 14 collections, from the Belcher Islands, Charlton Island, South Twin Island and the Kivalliq Region (GBIF.org, 04 October 2024). This species is more common in Nunavik (Quebec), immediately south of Baffin Island (Dignard 2013).
