Comptonia peregrina - sweet fern
When you see sweet fern for the first time you might wonder, what genus is this plant from? It looks like a fern but is arborescent. The name, sweet fern, does not help. It turns out that the sweet fern is related to sweet gale (bog myrtle; Myrica gale) which is native in Finland and grows by the lakes and the sea. Both plants are low shrubs with a strong fragrance and belong to the genus Myrica.
