LABRADOR TEA IN NEW JERSEY 



By Kenneth K. Mackenzie. 



On June 19, 1918, while going along the road at the north- 

 westerly corner of Budd's Lake, I was joined by a resident of one 

 of the houses along the road, Mr. M. E. Palmer. Con\ersation 

 developed the fact that Mr. Palmer had made a business of col- 

 lecting Sphagnum moss, and was well acquainted with a number 

 of bogs in Morris County, New Jersey, and especially with the 

 large one at the westerly end of Budd's Lake. Much to my 

 satisfaction he joined me for the day, and under his guidance I 

 got into the bog from the land side in several different places. 

 There are some four or fi\-e separate open places on the westerly 

 side of the lake which are separated from one another by small 

 streams lined by very dense swampy thickets through which it is 

 almost impossible to go. The easiest way of visiting the various 

 open bogs is by way of a boat from the lake side, but it is possible 

 to reach them all successively from the land side by obscure 

 trails through the dense thickets. To get from one to the other, 

 a person has however to go back each time a very considerable 

 way from the lake margin in order to a\'oid the troublesome 

 thickets above referred to. 



This bog at Budd's Lake is by far the best open sphagnum bog 

 which we have in northern New Jersey and contains in abun- 

 dance a number of northern species which are either unknown in 

 the State elsewhere or are very local. One of these local species 

 is Andromeda glaucophylla Link., which is abundant in some of 

 the openings. While looking at this Mr. Palmer asked me what
