Spec Char., §c. Branchlets hispid. Leaves oblanceolate, acute, glabrous on 
both surfaces, glaucous beneath, ciliated on the margins, having the midrib 
bristly. Flowers very clammy, leafy. Tube of corolla twice longer than 
the segments. Calyx very short. Filaments about equal in length to the 
segments of the corolla. (Don’s Mill., iii. p. 848.) The shrub is dwarfer 
than any of the other North American species of Azalea; and it produces 
its fragrant white flowers in great abundance. Nuttall considers this as 
only a variety of R. viscosum, differing in nothing but in the under surface of 
the leaves being glaucous; in which opinion we concur. It is a native of 
North America, from New England to Virginia, in swamps of a clayey 
soil ; where it forms a shrub, growing about 2 ft. high, and flowering in June 
and July. Introduced in 1734, and common in gardens.

Spec. Char., §c. Branches straight, very hispid. Leaves long-lanceolate, hispid 
above, and smooth beneath, glaucous on both surfaces, ciliated on the 
margins, having the nerves bristly beneath. Flowers 
very clammy, leafy. Tube of corolla wide, scarcely LN 
longer than the segments. Teeth of calyx oblong, W 
rounded. Filaments exserted. (Don’s Mill., tii. p. 487.) 
The flowers are white, with a red border, and a tinge 
of red on the tube, which makes them appear to be of 
a rose colour before expansion; and they have some- 
times 10 stamens. This sort may be distinguished 
from the other hardy azaleas by its bluish appearance. 
It is found wild in New York and Pennsylvania, on 
the borders of lakes on the highest part of the Blue 
Mountains; where it grows from 10 ft. to 15 ft. high, 
and flowers in July and August. It was introduced in 1734, and is now 
to be met with in most collections.
