Rhododendron kaempferi
is a semi-evergreen shrub that grows 1-2.5m in height and occurs
in forests, on the edges, and in grasslands of hilly or mountainous
regions. Leaves are alternate; sprouted-in-spring leaves fall in
autumn, and sprouted-in-summer-to autumn leaves pass the winter. The
spring leaves are 3-5cm long, 1-3cm wide, oblong to obovate-oblong,
tips pointed, and adpressed brown hairs exist on either side of the
leaves. Flowers, vermillion, 2 or 3 each, appear on branch tops.
Corollas are cut into five, and dark dots are on the upper lobes.
Bloom time: April-June. |
