andromeda

carl linneaus himself named this plant because he thought it looked like andromeda. he was touring lapland at the time, and i was reading this and thinking perhaps he had gotten a little brain-freeze. but then i saw his journal sketch, et voilĂ , the resemblance is uncanny. you can see for yourself here.

bog rosemary (andromeda polifolia)

found in a peat bog in the chippewa nationa forest in north-central minnesota
