Rhododendron ledifolium, Don (R. rosmarinifolium, Dipp., not Vidal.
Azalea rosmarinifolia,Burm. A. alba, Sweet. A. ledifolia, Hook.
A.liliiflora, Poit.). Much-branched low shrub, 1-3 ft.: branches, lvs.
and pedicels densely rufously appressed - strigose: lvs. elliptic
or elliptic - lanceolate, persistent, 1-3 in. long: fls. 1-3; sepals
lanceolate, serrate - glandular; corolla pure white or rosy purple, 2-3
in. broad, fragrant; stamens usually10. May. China. B.R.811. B.M. 2901.
L. B. C. 13:1253. G. 28:323. Gn. 33, p. 321. G.W. 15, p. 650.— Some
remarkable varieties of this species are the following: Var. album,
Rehd. (R. ledifolium var. leucanthum, DC. A. indica var. alba, Lindl.
R. leucanthum, Bunge). Fls. white, sometimes striped pink. G.C. III.
33:373. Gn. 54, p. 487. G. 6:607. Var. Noordtianum, Rehd. (Azalea
ledifolia Noordtiana, Wittm. A. japonica alba grandiflora Van Noordt,
Hort.). Fls. white, larger: lvs. elliptic. R.B. 30:133. M.D.G. 1905:73,
74. Gt. 59, p. 310. G.W. 15, p. 45. Said to be the hardiest variety of
this species. Var. purpureum, Maxim. Fls. rosy purple. Var.
narcissiflorum, Maxim. (A. narcissiflora, Fort.). Fls. double, white,
rarely purple. F. 1880:89. Var. phoeniceum, DC. (A. punicea, Sweet. A.
ledifolia var. phoenicea, Hook. A. indica var. calycina, Paxt.). Fls.
single, purple; calyx with linear, not serrate and less glandular
lobes. B.M. 3239. L.B.C. 18:1735. J.F. 3:257. Possibly a hybrid of this
species and R. sub-lanceolatum.— R. ledifolium has produced, with A.
indica, a large number of beautiful hybrids, of which one of the first
was figured in 1833 as R. pulchrum.
