Rhododendron sinense, Sweet (R. molle, Don. Azalea sinensis, Lodd. A. mollis, Blume). Shrub, to 5 ft.: young branchlets pubescent and often setose: winter buds grayish pubescent: lvs. oblong to oblong-oblanceolate, obtuse and mucronate, cuneate at the base, ciliate and often revolute at the margins, soft-pubescent beneath, 2 1/2-3 1/2 in. long: fls. in many-fld. heads; pedicels puberulous; calyx-lobes short, rounded, ciliate; corolla campanulate-funnelform, yellow, upper lobe spotted greenish, 2 in. across; stamens shorter than limb. April, May. China. B.R. 1253. L.B.C. 9:885.—Tenderer than the following species with which it has been confused. It has entered largely into the parentage of the so-called Ghent azaleas, and some of them, particularly Anthony Koster, are little different from true R. sinense.
