Wikipedia:
There are two varieties, treated as distinct species by some botanists:
Andromeda polifolia var. polifolia. Northern Europe and Asia, northwestern North America.
Andromeda polifolia var. glaucophylla. Northeastern North America (syn. A. glaucophylla).
The name derives from the superficial resemblance of the leaves to those of the unrelated shrub Rosemary (Rosmarinus, family Lamiaceae).
Andromeda is also the common name for plants in the genus Pieris, which is also a member of Ericaceae.
