Description: This association is reported from British Columbia and Washington. The open woodland tree canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus contorta var. contorta</i>. <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> or <i>Thuja plicata</i> may also occur in smaller amounts. The well-developed shrub layer is dominated by <i>Ledum groenlandicum</i>, or codominated by that species and <i>Gaultheria shallon</i> or <i>Kalmia microphylla</i>. The herb layer can be sparse to moderately dense and often has abundant <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i>. A well-developed moss layer is often dominated by <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. that is always at least present. This association occurs at low elevations in western Washington. Sites are bogs or poor fens with saturated peat soils and acidic, nutrient-poor conditions. Topography is typically flat basins or depressions.
