Forming flat mats in moist forests, thickets, and swamps of cedar, spruce, tamarack, or other conifers; often on mossy logs and hummocks.
The foliage is sometimes confused with that of the cranberries, but differs in the wintergreen flavor, strigose stems, more acute leaf tips, green undersides of the leaves, and bristle-like glands or hairs on the undersides (and often margins) of the leaves.
