This is an erect slinil> w iiich usually is about tliree to six feet tiill. How- 

 ever, it is occasionally soniew hat higher, and I found one specimen twelve 

 feet hisli and about one and a half inches in diameter breast high. It 

 sends up suckers and is usually found in clusters. It prefers a moist hab- 

 itat, althoufih it is often found in (piite dry sandy places among the dunes. 

 Along the beach (d" Lake Michigan like all other woody plants it is ofti')i 

 somewhat scrubby luil never decumlient and rooting at the nodes. Its 

 laNorite habitat is low ])laces between the dunes, and at a distance from the 

 dune area it is found in low Hat (^>uercus palustris woods, usually associ- 

 ated with Aronia nielanocarpa, species of Salix, etc. I have taken it so 

 many times in so many counties that I will give the names of tlie counties 

 only in which I have taken specimens: Cass, Elkliart, Fulton. Lake. Xew- 

 ton. I'orter, Pulaski. St. Joseph and Starke. By other writers this form in 

 our area has been call(>d I'nuius pumila. There is but one form in our area 

 and I believe it is properly rid'erred to this species.
