Rhododendron caucasicum, Pall. Dense low shrub, 2 ft. high, often
with procumbent branches: lvs. oval-oblong or narrow-elliptic, acute,
dark green above, ferrugineous-tomentose beneath, 2—4 in. long:
clusters 7-10-fld.; pedicels short; calyx minute; corolla
funnelform-campanulate, with emarginate rounded lobes, pink to
yellowish white, spotted greenish within, 1 1/2 in. across. June, July.
Caucasus. B.M. 1145.—A dwarf, quite hardy species; late-flowering. Var.
flavidum, Regel. Fls. straw-colored, spotted greenish within. Gt.
16:560. Var. stramineum, Hook., is similar, but with fulvous spots.
B.M. 3422. Var. roseo-album, Briot., with blush fls., changing to
white, and var. splendens, Briot, with deep pink fls., are said to
bloom very early and may be hybrids. R.H. 1868:311. Also "Coriaceum"
and "Rosa mundi" (see p. 2932) are apparently forms of this species.
