How to use variable in xpath xslt?

i have the following xml properties file as input,

<Service>
    <Provider>
        <TEST1>http://example1.com</TEST1>
        <TEST2>http://example2.com</TEST2>
        <TEST3>http://example3.com</TEST3>
    </Provider>
</Service>

in my xslt, based on the incoming request host name (example: https://test2service.example.com) ; using contains function i am saving environment value to a variable.

<xsl:variable name="Environment">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="contains($ConsumerHost, 'test1')">
                    <xsl:text>TEST1</xsl:text>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:when test="contains($ConsumerHost, 'test2')">
                    <xsl:text>TEST2</xsl:text>
                </xsl:when> ..........

Now based on the environment variable value, i have to choose the backend server. below code is not working. Please suggest. 

<xsl:variable name="HOST" select="//Provider/($Environment)/text()" />

Any other solutions are welcome! Thanks.

Try this expression instead...

<xsl:variable name="HOST" select="//Provider/*[local-name() = $Environment]/text()" />
