Description
Rhododendron leptocarpum (syn: micromeres) GR#0821. An interesting and unusual, dwarf and epiphytic species for the collector. This evergreen species has small flattened white to cream or yellow flowers on the ends of very long pendulous pedicels. These arch out in clusters from the thin branches in early summer. Not particularly showy but quite distinct and hardy for an epiphyte. Needs excellent drainage, great in an old log or stump. From wild seed, this is rarely offered. The older leaves turn red in the autumn before dehiscing. ((0R23) RSBG#177sd2008 $9.00-B
