Comments
There has been, and continues to be, considerable disagreement about whether this taxon and S. alba var. latifolia should be treated as separate species or varieties of Spiraea alba. Until convincing systematic, range-wide studies are done, and given the occurrence of apparent introgressive plants in our area, are retaining the more conservative varietal treatments.
Habitat
Bogs, seeps, seepage swamps, wet meadows, and stream banks. Infrequent in the mountains and n. Piedmont.

Native
