  Wild Flowers of Nova Scotia.
Unlike its cousin, the flberry which grow as rough prickly shrubs, the bakeapple is a small plant growing close to the ground with one to three leaves.
It is a bog plant and is often associated with mats of sphagnum moss.
I see from MacLeod that the "young leaves may be used as greens and the dried, older leaves and flowers can be used to make tea." The goldenrod comes into bloom late; and, thus, with its blossoming (widespread), the observer will become melancholiac with the awareness that summer is soon to be over.

  Salt pan (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A salt pan is a place where water pools when it rains.
A salt pan would be a lake or a pond if it was in a location in a climate where the rate of water evaporation wasn't faster than the rate of water precipitation, i.e., if it wasn't in a desert.
The two best-known salt pans in the USA are probably the Black Rock Desert in Nevada where Burning Man Festival is held, and the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah where many land speed records have been set.

 Salt
Although salt in higher concentrations may slow some disease causing bacterial growth in the pond, the predominantly accepted theories ascribe the primary benefits of salt to lowering the osmotic pressure.
The amount of salt dissolved in water is measured either as a per cent, in parts-per-thousand (ppt), or in parts-per-million (ppm) (where 10 ppt = 1% = 10000 ppm).
The addition of one to two pounds of salt per hundred gallons of water (1.25-2.5 ppt) is recommended for most ponds, especially in the spring and fall.

In the Middle Ages salt was extracted from the drowned bog in the Delta (Zeeland and surroundings).
This opinion is examined, as well as the idea that the transition in the 15th century to refining imported salt was due to the exhaustion of the silty bog layer in the delta.
A model is elaborated that encompasses both aspects and describes how the agrarian use of peat bog, salt extraction and the formation of clay polders interrelated.

Quality of the water taken from the pond to flood the bog was compared to that of the water returned to the pond.
To complete the picture regarding water moving between pond and bog, we estimated water volumes using staff gauges in the bog and a water level monitor in the pond along with bog mapping data and pond bathymetry to estimate volumes of water moving in flood events.

 Effects of Road Salt and Phragmites Australis Invasion on the Vegetation of a Western Massachusetts Calcareous ...
Kampoosa Bog in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, USA is a 70-ha wetland comprised of calcareous basin fen and red maple swamp bordered, in part, by roads including the Massachusetts Turnpike.
High salt concentrations in the ground water (due to the application of deicing salts on the Turnpike) and Phragmites australis colonies appear to be impacting the native vegetation at this site.
Although high salt concentrations and Phragmites abundance do not seem to produce an interaction effect on the vegetation of the wetland, the graminoid fen community is impacted by both factors separately.

Just about everyone has an idea of what a wetland is. It's a marsh, a bog, a salt marsh, a swamp, and so forth.
The term "wetlands" means those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.
Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.
