Very local in an ecotonal area on the west side of the creek. Loose patch of a few dozen stems in dry-mesic setting a few feet from the wetland margin. Shallow soil over basaltic (greenstone) bedrock at the edge of a narrow, low bedrock rise. Patchy canopy due to beaver felling and exposed bedrock. Partial shade of Abies balsamea and Pinus strobus. Ground layer dominated by Vaccinium angustifolium.
