  S. 
  Warnstorfii 
  prefers 
  damp 
  or 
  wet 
  birch 
  swamps, 
  and 
  -the 
  

   margins 
  of 
  elevated 
  bogs 
  when 
  adjacent 
  to 
  birch-covered 
  wet 
  

   meadows 
  ; 
  or 
  it 
  grows 
  in 
  springy 
  swamps, 
  here 
  preferably 
  in 
  

   the 
  society 
  of 
  Paliidella 
  squarrosa 
  Ehrh, 
  It 
  is 
  often 
  found 
  

   associated 
  with 
  S. 
  teres, 
  whilst 
  it 
  seems 
  to 
  shun 
  the 
  company 
  

   of 
  S. 
  tenellum 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  AcutifoUtmi 
  group. 
  

  

  This 
  plant 
  must 
  surely 
  be 
  as 
  widely 
  diffused 
  in 
  Canada 
  

   and 
  the 
  northern 
  United 
  States 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  in 
  Europe, 
  but 
  hither- 
  

   to, 
  at 
  all 
  events, 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  overlooked 
  or 
  not 
  specifically 
  

   distinguished.
