Rhodothamnus (Greek, rhodon, rose, and tham- nos, shrub; alluding to <br />
the rose-colored fls.). Ericaceae. Dwarf evergreen shrub, with <br />
alternate small entire lvs. and rather large pink fls., usually <br />
solitary at the ends of the branchlets. Related to Kalmia, but anthers <br />
not in pouches: lvs. alternate: sepals 5, half as long as corolla; <br />
corolla rotate, deeply 5-lobed; stamens 10, slightly longer than <br />
corolla: fr. a 5-celled, many-seeded dehiscent caps. Charming little <br />
alpine shrub, hardy N., but somewhat difficult to cult. It thrives best <br />
in peaty porous soil of constant, moderate moisture in a partly shaded <br />
situation, and is best suited for rockeries. Prop, by seeds or layers, <br />
also by cuttings of ripened wood under glass. The only species is R. <br />
Chamaecistus, Reichb. (Rhododendron Chamaecistus, Linn. Adoden- dron <br />
Chamaecistus, Kuntze). Diffusely branched shrub, to 1 ft.: lvs. <br />
cuneate-oblong, acute, setosely ciliate, 1/4-1/2in. long: fls. on <br />
slender, glandular-hirsute pedicels, solitary, rarely 2 or 3 at the end <br />
of the branchlets. light purplish pink, to 1 in. across. May. Alps of <br />
