The distinguishing difference is that the veins in the leaves of suecica originate at the base of the leaf (not connected to the midvein). I have seen this kind of variation in canadensis on coastal barrens before too (including at Duncans cove). It is very interesting and I've wondered if there were also genetic differences within the species. Sometimes they are even quite branched and spreading.
