Chamaedaphne
Chamaedaphne calyculata, leatherleaf, is a shrub in the plant family Ericaceae and the only species in the genus Chamaedaphne. It has a wide distribution throughout the cool temperate and subarctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
It is a low-growing shrub up to 1.5 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged on the branch and elliptical to oblong shaped, 3–4 cm long, thick and leathery, with minute scales and lighter coloration on the underside, and an entire or irregularly toothed margin. They are evergreen but often turn red-brown in winter. The flowers are small (5–6 mm long), white, and bell-like, produced in panicles up to 12 cm long. The species site is restricted to bogs, where they naturally form large clonal colonies.
The name Chamaedaphne comes from the Greek for "ground laurel"; the common name comes from its tough, leather-like leaf.
Leatherleaf is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora ledi.

Too Much
by: LeatherwolfI'm on my way
To lose my mind
The situation will never change
Or the way I'm nasty kind
Once I start
I just can't stop
Control yourself is what they say
Just take it to the top
I might start a fight
Just to have a good time
And if the feeling feels alright
This time you'll be mine
Too much is never enough
I wanna see the light
What can I do to stay satisfied
Too much is never enough
Have you had too much
Or can you tell
Will you let me know now whether or not
If I can ring the bell
It's never too late
Yeah, you're so wise
Will you say too much, it ain't enough
I'm seein' it in your eyes
I might start a fight
Just to have a good time
And if the feeling feels alright, yeah
This time you'll be mine
Ooh!
Too much is never enough
I wanna see the light
What can I do to stay satisfied
Too much is never enough
Oh too much!
Uh-huh
I might start a fight
Just to have a good time
And if the feeling feels alright
This time you'll be mine
Oh!
Too much is never enough
I wanna see the light
What can I do to stay satisfied
Too much is never enough
