==Description== All three species used to make Labrador tea are low, slow-growing shrubs with evergreen leaves: * ''[[Rhododendron tomentosum]]'' (northern Labrador tea, previously ''Ledum palustre''), * ''[[Rhododendron groenlandicum]]'', (bog Labrador tea, previously ''Ledum groenlandicum'' or ''Ledum latifolium'') and * ''[[Rhododendron neoglandulosum]]'', (western Labrador tea, or trapper's tea, previously ''Ledum glandulosum'' or ''Ledum columbianum''). The leaves are smooth on top with often wrinkled edges, and fuzzy white to red-brown underneath, and point straight to the sides or downward.<ref name="Dampc">{{cite journal |author1=Dampc, A. |author2=M.
