Lyonia ovalifolia var. elliptica is a deciduous shrub to a small tree found on hills or dry mountains, ridges, or slopes. Leaves are alternate; blades 5-10cm long, 2-6cm wide, broad oval-like oblong, with tips pointed, bases somewhat heart-shaped, margins entire, both surfaces with sparse adpressed hairs, and dense hairs on the backside midribs to the upper parts of the petioles. The petioles measure 5-10mm in length. The previous year's branch axils produce 4-6cm long racemes and set many white flowers facing downward. Corollas are 8-10mm long, urceolate, shallowly cleft in five, and the outsides are with sparse fine hairs. Bloom time: May-July.
