The shores of Flaten are covered with bog-myrtle.

They feed on plants of various kinds, including bog-myrtle, bramble, creeping thistle, meadowsweet, and nettle.

Popular flavours for home flavouring include Blackthorn, Bog-myrtle, Dill, Persian Walnut, St. John's Wort, Woodruff, and Wormwood.

The larva feed on a wide range of plants, mainly on heather (Calluna vulgaris), bog-myrtle (Myrica gale), Euphorbia, Achillea, Rumex and Plantago.

Sculptor James Pittendrigh Macgillivray's collection Bog-Myrtle and Peat Reek: verse mainly in the North & South country dialects of Scotland is published in Edinburgh.

ENVOY Ah Constance, the land of our quest It is far from the sounds of the street, Where the Kingdom of Galloway's blest With the smell of bog-myrtle and peat!

We saw a great many sheep, of course, grazing on the peat-grass and the bog-myrtle; and every once in a while, some miles back from the road, an estancia - a collection of farm buildings like white dolls' houses, tiny on the immense plain.

Common names include Bog-myrtle and sweetgale.

Sweetgale can grow in a narrow band in the intertidal zone, especially if logs have been washed into the estuary on which to establish itself.

It is a favorite food of beavers, and low beaver dams can be found in the intertidal zone if sufficient sweetgale is present.
