Etymology
The etymology for the epithet polifolia is incorrect. A more correct definition would be "Polium-leaved", a reference to Teucrium montanum L., commonly known as mountain germander. See the etymology in Wiktionary for more details. —Mike 07:53, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * this is explicitly mentioned in the ICNafp at Art. 60.10: "Ex. 38. In Andromeda polifolia L. (Sp. Pl.: 393. 1753), the epithet is taken from a pre-Linnaean generic designation ("Polifolia" of Buxbaum) and is a noun used in apposition, not an adjective; it is not to be altered to 'poliifolia' (Polium-leaved)." So although it may originally have been derived from Polium-leaved, it's treated as though it is not, since otherwise it would have to be spelt poliifolia.
 * I've now corrected and expanded the etymology in the article. Good catch! Peter coxhead (talk) 16:40, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
