Zenobia is a genus of small shrubs in the family Ericaceae. There is only one species in this genus — Zenobia pulverulenta from bogs of south-east of USA. The common English name of this plant is Honeycup. It is an evergreen plant with blue-green leaves and small white flowers in the shape of bells. The genus was named in honour of Zenobia Septimia (240 — after 274), Queen of Palmira.[1]
Honeycup is cultivated as a garden plant.
