Status Overview:
An Atlantic Coastal
Plain species of shrub that is found in Canada only on six lakeshores in
southwestern Nova Scotia. Three of these populations, discovered in the
past three years, are large and indicate that the plant is more abundant
that previously thought. However, there is still concern that this
long-lived perennial may have limited sexual reproduction in Nova Scotia,
where it is at the northern limit of its range.
