Leucothoe fontanesiana, also known as the highland doghobble,[1] fetter-bush,[2] mountain doghobble or switch ivy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae, native to the southeastern United States. It is an erect evergreen shrub growing to 1–2 m (3–7 ft) tall by 3 m (10 ft) broad, with laurel-like glossy leaves 6–16 cm (2–6 in) long, and pendent axillary racemes of urn-shaped flowers in spring.[3][4]

L. fontanesiana has been marked as a pollinator plant, supporting and attracting bees and butterflies[7]
