The mountain laurel, scientifically known as Kalmia latifolia, is named for its natural habitat and resemblance to the true laurel. It typically grows in mountainous regions of the eastern United States, hence the term "mountain." The "laurel" part of its name refers to its leaves, which are similar in appearance to those of the true laurel tree. The plant is known for its beautiful, showy flowers and is often associated with the natural landscapes of its native areas.
