Labrador Tea (Ledum groenlandium) is a low-lying shrub found everywhere in Newfoundland. On a walk out to a lighthouse on the southern shore, we found lots of these plants growing along the trail and in the rocky barrens around us. As its name suggests, the leathery leaves can be crushed and boiled into a tea, which was traditionally used in outport fishing communities for its medicinal properties.
