D. Dister
In the southern portion of its range in the state, almost entirely restricted to bogs; northward, found also in the same swamps, dune ridges, gravelly shores, etc., as P. glauca, but most often in bogs, usually with Larix, sometimes with Thuja or Abies. The peg-like projections tend to be widely spreading in this species, even at right angles to the twig, while in P. glauca they tend to be strongly ascending.
