Bog Rosemary Andromeda glaucophylla
Family: Ericaceae (Heath)
Branching: Alternate / Evergreen
This is a small, bog-living shrub that rarely grows higher than
knee-height. It has thin leaves that curl under at the edges and
a whitish-bluish colour underneath. The very similar Swamp Laurel
often grows nearby, but its leaves are opposite.
