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. May. Alps of
E. Eu. B.M. 488. L.B.C. 15:1491. P.M. 3:169. F.S. 19:1962. F.W.
1873:321. G.C. III. 33:293. Alfred Rehder.
