SPECIES: Betula glandulosa | Bog Birch
ABBREVIATION : BETGLA SYNONYMS : Betula glandulosa var. hallii SCS PLANT CODE : BEGL COMMON NAMES : bog birch glandular birch resin birch swamp birch glandular scrub birch ground birch dwarf birch mountain birch marsh birch arctic dwarf birch shrub birch scrub birch TAXONOMY : The currently accepted scientific name of bog birch is Betula glandulosa Michx. [4,25,63]. An abundance of intermediate forms makes a precise distinction between bog birch (Betula glandulosa) and swamp birch (Betula pumila) difficult. This taxonomic uncertainty results in intermediates regarded as either: Betula glandulosa Michx. var. glandulifera (Regel) Gleason [17,23] or Betula pumila L. var. glandulifera Regel [4,25]. This paper recognizes these intermediate forms as Betula pumila var. glandulifera, as more recent authorities do [4,6,25]. However, due to the continued uncertainty over their proper taxonomic placement, information on these plants will be incorporated into this paper, and they will be cited as Betula pumila var. glandulifera. This paper does not recognize any subspecies, varieties, or forms of Betula glandulosa. Numerous hybrids have been described within this group including [4,6]: Betula glandulosa x occidentalis = B. X eastwoodea Sargent Betula glandulosa x pumila var. glandulifera = B. X sargentii Dugle Betula papyrifera x pumila var. glandulifera = B. X sandbergii Britt Betula neoalaskana x pumila var. glandulifera = B. X uliginosa Dugle B. X sargentii x papyrifera = B. X arbuscula Dugle LIFE FORM : Shrub FEDERAL LEGAL STATUS : NO-ENTRY OTHER STATUS : NO-ENTRY COMPILED BY AND DATE : Ronald Uchytil/August 1989 LAST REVISED BY AND DATE : NO-ENTRY AUTHORSHIP AND CITATION : Uchytil, Ronald J. 1989.
