Sassafras.

--In the colonial times, sassafras was an article of commerce. It was so largely exported to England that it was becoming a rival to tea, and, by the influence of the East India Company, an act was passed putting a stop to the trade. The blooms, or tender buds, were gathered and dried for exportation, and these are said to make a better beverage than the bark.
