6 ADDISONIA 
Its range so far as I know is not wide, although very possibly it 
might be found in other places. It is found growing with kalmias 
and rhododendrons on the sunny exposures on comparatively dry 
ridges, and is found with the typical ericaceous growth including 
Vaccinium, Gaylussacia, Galax, Leucothoé, Xolisma, and azaleas. 
Of course this is a non-alkaline soil and the plant seems to thrive 
in fairly sunny locations. The altitude is about 3700 to 3900 
feet elevation.” 
There are in the fruticetum of the New York Botanical Garden 
two of these shrubs, between four and five feet high, purchased from 
Mr. Kelsey in 1903; they blossom at the end of May or early in 
June. It is one of the most attractive shrubs flowering at that time 
of the year, and is certainly worthy of more general cultivation. 
The information furnished by Mr. Kelsey, quoted above, indicates 
that it thrives under conditions favorable to rhododendrons. 
The flowers resemble in color those of Rhododendron carolintanum, 
illustrated at plate 1 of this work, and appear at about the same 
time. From its preference for a non-alkaline soil, as indicated by 
its environment of ericaceous plants, its successful cultivation in a 
limestone soil is uncertain.
