Rhodothamnus (Greek, rhodon, rose, and tham- nos, shrub; alluding to the rose-colored fls.). Ericaceae. Dwarf evergreen shrub, with alternate small entire lvs. and rather large pink fls., usually solitary at the ends of the branchlets. Related to Kalmia, but anthers not in pouches: lvs. alternate: sepals 5, half as long as corolla; corolla rotate, deeply 5-lobed; stamens 10, slightly longer than corolla: fr. a 5-celled, many-seeded dehiscent caps. Charming little alpine shrub, hardy N., but somewhat difficult to cult. It thrives best in peaty porous soil of constant, moderate moisture in a partly shaded situation, and is best suited for rockeries. Prop, by seeds or layers, also by cuttings of ripened wood under glass. The only species is R. Chamaecistus, Reichb. (Rhododendron Chamaecistus, Linn. Adoden- dron Chamaecistus, Kuntze). Diffusely branched shrub, to 1 ft.: lvs. cuneate-oblong, acute, setosely ciliate, 1/4-1/2in. long: fls. on slender, glandular-hirsute pedicels, solitary, rarely 2 or 3 at the end of the branchlets. light purplish pink, to 1 in. across.
