Honeycup, Zenobiapulverulenta (Bartram ex Willd.) Pollard, was originally named Andromeda
pulverulenta
by William Bartram thus it is not surprising that is its similar to Florida hobblebush, Agaristapopulifolia (Lam.) W.S. Judd, which was also initially collected by William Bartram who call it Andromeda
formosissima and it is also synonymous with Leucothoe poulifolia (Lam.) Dippel. By extension honeycup is also similar to fetterbush, Leucothoe fontanesiana(Steud.) Sleumer, also known as
highland doghobble, sweetbells, L. axillaris (Lam.) D. Don, also known as coastal doghobble, andEubotrysracemosa (L.) Nutt., which is synonymous with L. racemosa (L.) A. Gray. The similarity of these three genera results in them all being in the same family along with azaleas (Rhododendron L.) and blueberries (Vaccinium L.).
