In bog meadows and on the borders of lakes : Canada and 

 on the mountains of New York and New Jersey, Tj . 

 July, Aug. V. V. This is a low-growing shrub, not 

 above eighteen inches high. Though it appears to be no 

 more than a variety of the preceding, the difference 

 of habit is so great, that I was persuaded to propose it 

 as a distinct species : both cultivated near one another, 

 will decide whether it shall be adopted as such or not.
