Andromeda polifolia

Etymology
The epithet ' (used as a noun and hence being capitalized by early botanists) was used by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, inherited from used by Johann Christian Buxbaum in 1727, originally coined in Jean Bauhin's posthumously issued Historia Plantarum which was published in 1650, from ' +  +. Bauhin was describing and naming a plant which had foliage similar to that of a plant that he knew as Polium (likely L., commonly known as ), descended from Latin, alt. form of, from Greek.
