Tschonoskii, but corolla tubular, regular, smaller, anther-cells dehiscent with a longitudinal slit, ovary 3-celled and the scales of the winter buds dropping from the base. Recently intro. and probably as hardy as Rhododendron Kaempferi. Cult. and prop. like other alpine Ericaceae. T. Tanakae, Maxim.
