Summary Based on collections and reports, this speBased on collections and reports, this species seems to be found almost entirely in spruce forests near shorelines, primarily on small islands (though it is abundant in locations on [[Kruzof Island]] near [[Sitka]]). One collection inland from [[Haines]] is an exception. These are presumed to be var. ''occidentalis'' though the FNA distribution map does not have this species occurring much in our region. Do our restricted coastal populations possibly show genetic evidence of separation from the rest of the species throughout the bulk of its range? A few scattered collections from the region - primarily from the islands.m the region - primarily from the islands.  +
