{{Inc| Loiseleuria (after J. C. A. Loiseleur-Deslong- champs, physician and botanist in Paris, 1774-1849). Syn., Charmaeledon, Chamaecistus. Ericaceae. A procumbent hardy evergreen shrub with very small, mostly opposite, closely set. entire lvs., and with small, usually rose-colored fls. in terminal, few-fld. umbels. A single species in the subarctic regions and high mountains of the northern hemisphere, allied to Kalmia and Leiophyllum, but calyx 5-parted, nearly as long as the bell-shaped corolla, stamens 5, with the anthers opening lengthwise and caps. 2-3-cellcd. Well adapted for rockeries, forming depressed tufts, but not easy to grow and rarely cult. It grows best in a sunny or partly shaded position in a porous, peaty and sandy soil, which is well drained and has a constant but moderate supply of moisture. Prop, by seeds treated like those of rhododendron or by cuttings of half-ripened wood under glass. L. procumbens, Desv. (Azalea procumbens, Linn. Chamaecistus procumbens, Kuntze). Only a few inches high, quite glabrous: lvs. petioled, oval to narrow-oblong, revolute at the margin, about ¼in. long: fls. 1-5, on rather short pedicels, pink or whitish, about 1/5 in. across. July, Aug. L.B.C. 8:762. G.C. III. 53:343. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
