TAXONOMY:
The scientific name of bog rosemary is Andromeda polifolia L. (Ericaceae)
[56,60,69].
Infrataxa:
Based primarily on distribution, plant size, and pedicel
length, some systematists recognize 3 varieties of bog rosemary [56,60,69]:
Andromeda polifolia L. var. jamesiana (Lepage) Boivin
Andromeda polifolia L. var. glaucophylla (Link) DC
Andromeda polifolia L. var. polifolia
The taxonomy of bog rosemary has been amended in recent years. A.
glaucophylla and A. polifolia were once considered distinct
species, and A. polifolia var. jamesiana was once considered intermediate
between the 2 species [52,56,89].
Within this review, unless otherwise specified, "bog rosemary" refers
to the species as a whole.
