Bog rosemary is only found in [[bog]]s in cold [[peat]]-accumulating areas. <br /> <br /> It is a small [[shrub]] growing to 10-20 cm (rarely to 40 cm) tall with slender stems. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[evergreen]], lanceolate, 1-5 cm long and 2-8 mm broad, dark green above (purplish in winter), white beneath with the leaf margins curled under and alternately arranged. The [[flower]]s are bell-shaped, white to pink, 5-8 mm long; flowering is in late spring to early summer. The [[fruit]] is a small [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] containing numerous [[seed]]s.<br /> <br /> There are two [[variety (biology)|varieties]], treated as distinct [[species]] by some [[botanist]]s:<br /> *&#039;&#039;Andromeda polifolia&#039;&#039; var. &#039;&#039;polifolia&#039;&#039;. Northern [[Europe]] and [[Asia]], northwestern [[North America]].<br /> *&#039;&#039;Andromeda polifolia&#039;&#039; var. &#039;&#039;glaucophylla&#039;&#039;. Northeastern [[North America]] ([[Synonymy|syn.]] &#039;&#039;A. glaucophylla&#039;&#039;).<br /> <br /> The name derives from the superficial resemblance of the leaves to those of the unrelated shrub [[Rosemary]] (&#039;&#039;Rosmarinus&#039;&#039;, family [[Lamiaceae]]).<br /> <br /> Andromeda is also the common name for plants in the genus [[Pieris]], which is also a member of Ericaceae.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{commons|Andromeda polifolia|Bog-rosemary}}<br /> *[http://www.peatlandsni.gov.uk/plants/rare/bogrose.htm Bog-rosemary factsheet with photo]<br /> *[http://www.alpine-plants-jp.com/art/himesyakunage_1.htm Flower] [http://www.alpine-plants-jp.com/himitunohanazono/himesyakunage_himitu_1.htm Fruits, Seeds] Images:Flavon&#039;s art gallery<br /> <br /> ==Images==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Andromeda_polifolia_1.jpg|&#039;&#039;Andromeda polifolia&#039;&#039; var. &#039;&#039;polifolia&#039;&#039; leaves<br /> Image:Andromeda polifolia, Pancake Bay PP.jpg|&#039;&#039;Andromeda polifolia&#039;&#039;, [[Pancake Bay Provincial Park|Pancake Bay]], [[Ontario]]<br /> Image:Cleaned-Illustration Andromeda polifolia.jpg|Illustration<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Ericales-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ericaceae]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Canada]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Europe]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Estonia]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of the United Kingdom]]</div>
