Rhododendron azaleoides, Desf. (R. fragrans, Lodd. R. odoratum, Paxt.). Hybrid between R. minus and R. nudiflorum. Shrub, a few feet high: lvs. leathery but thin, elliptic to oblong, acute at both ends, dark green above, paler beneath, sometimes pubescent when young: fls. funnel- form-campanulate, pinkish or whitish, fragrant, 1 1/2-2 in. across; calyx with ciliate lobes. May, June. P.M. 10:147. J.H. III. 49:489.—Of garden origin. There are many allied forms of similar origin described under different names. The name Azaleodendron has been proposed as a generic name for the hybrids between Azalea and Rhododendron by Rodigas. To this group of hybrids also belong R. Smithii aureum, Hort., with yellow fls. F.S.R. 2:152, and R. Broughtonii aureum, Hort., similar, but with deeper yellow fls. and with the under side of the lvs. green, not glaucescent as in the preceding form (G.C. III. 51:53); also R. Cartonianum, DC., R. gemmiferum, Bean, and R. Gowenianum, Sweet (see suppl. list).
