Additional substances found in the plant are beta-cadin-4-En-10-ol, 11-selina-4-ol, beta-terpinene, p-cymene, caryophyllene, 4.11-selinadien, beta-elemennon, germacrone and a trace amount of other substances. The main substances are alpha-pinene, 1,8 cineol, myrcene, and limonene.

Plant Parts Used: It is mainly the leaves that have been used as herbal medicine but sometimes the flowers (catkins) and buds have also been utilized. The plant thrives in very nitrogen-poor soil due to Actinobacteria found in the roots that can bind nitrogen from the air. The flowers are catkins (cylindrical flower cluster, with very small or no petals), with male and female catkins on separate plants. The leaves are gray-green, spirally arranged and oblanceolate with a tapered base and broader tip, and a finely toothed margin. It is found in bogs, marshes, fens and wet heathland but because of loss of habitat, the plant has become endangered in many places. Habitat: The plant is endemic to northern and western Europe and can also be found in some parts of northern North America.ĭescription: Bog myrtle is a small flowering shrub that can grow up to 2 meters tall.
