{{Inc| Lyonia (after John Lyon, who introduced many American plants into England; died before 1818, in Asheville, N. C.). Syn., Xolisma. Ericaceae. Ornamental shrubs, sometimes grown for their white flowers and dense foliage. Deciduous or evergreen: lvs. alternate, short-petioled, entire or serrulate: fls. fascicled or panicled, white; calyx-lobes 4-5, valvate; corolla globular or urceolate, pubescent; stamens 8-10; anthers oblong, truncate at the apex; disk 8-10-lobed: caps. 4-5-valved, with ribs at the sutures and intruded at the apex; seeds numerous, with a loose reticulate testa.—About 10 species in E. N. Amer., W. Indies and Mex. Allied to Pieris and often included under Andromeda. The lyonias are much-branched shrubs with dull green medium-sized foliage and small white flowers in clusters or panicles. Only the deciduous L. ligustrina is hardy North, but is less desirable than other hardy species of allied genera. It prefers moist peaty soil, while the evergreen tender L. ferruginea thrives best in a sandy, well-drained soil. Cultivated and propagated like leucothoe and pieris. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
