Bog Rosemary (Andromeda polifolia): Bog Rosemary is a small easily overlooked evergreen perennial found in bogs. Plants typically consist of a few slender stems, so are most noticeable when the pink urn-shaped flowers are blooming. Like many bog plants, the leaves contain a variety of toxins and should not be consumed .

Scattered collections (15 georeferenced) from across the region. Probably under collected relative to its abundance.
