[Morella pensylvanica is known from sand dunes and coastal barrens on the south coast of Nfld., and from fens over serpentine bedrock in wNfld. (Bouchard et al. 1991). The authority of the basionym, Myrica pensylvanica, is sometimes given as Loisel., however, the Tropicos Database notes that Mirbel is the correct authority.]
