Recorded from Europe and Asia, this species ranges south along North 
American coasts to Connecticut and New York in the east and Washington 
in the west. Inland it occurs in Michigan and Minnesota, Montana and Colo- 
rado, and our collections show it general along the north shore of Lake Superior, 
and north to Lake Nipigon and northwest to Sioux Lookout. We did not find 
it, however, at the northern end of Lake Nipigon. It usually forms dense mounds 
at the outer edges of bogs or associated with the black spruce.

“Greenland and Labrador to Connecticut and New York; [northwestern 
Pennsylvania — O. E. J.]; Michigan; Minnesota; Colorado and northward in 
Rocky Mountains to Alaska; also in Europe and reported from Asia.” Our 
collections show it generally distributed in Ontario, at least from the north- 
western shore of Lake Superior from Fort William to Nipigon, and north and 
west from there, but we did not find it along the North Shore at any of the sta- 
tions east of Nipigon.
