Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.
The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Physiognomy:

D. Dister
Coniferous and mixed forests, often with aspen or paper birch (especially in a rather characteristic association near the Great Lakes shores); cedar swamps, bogs, and spruce-fir stands. The Ingham Co. collections is from "a clump of trees in a sphagnum bog" and is presumably a native occurrence.
Readily recognized by the smooth round leaf scars, this aromatic plant is a popular Christmas tree, since the needles do not fall readily as do those of the spruces. Resin-filled pustules are characteristic of the bark of this species, and the young female cones are often heavily resinous.
