The Azalea Cumberlandense is without a doubt the same 
as the Bakeri. It was given the name Bakeri first, and 
it might be that the name Bakeri should have priority. 
However we prefer to call it the Cumberlandense as 
this name describes its Cumberland Plateau habitat so fit- 
tingly. This is one of the late flowering species. Flow- 
ers appear after leaves are full grown. Flowers are 
flaming red.

The Calendulecea is an early flowering species. Its 
flowers appear before or as the leaves appear. It is a 
yellow or light orange color and not flaming red as it 
has been described many times. It is very easy to con- 
fuse this azalea with some of the late flowering species 
as they all grow together. They are found only above 
the 3000 foot elevation.

The Azalea Canescens is very confusing. It seems that 
this species has become closely asscciated with the Azalea 
Alabamense, that has spread from northern Alabama 
into Tennessee, and the Azalea Nudiflorum which has 
spread from the northeastern part of Tennessee down 
into the southern mountains, and has become infused 
with this mixture. It would seem that the Canescens 
is a species halfway between the two mentioned above.

The Azalea Arborescens is one of the late flowering 
species. Flowers are larger than any of the other na- 
tive azaleas. They are creamy white, sometimes tinged 
with pink. This species is found only above the 3000 
foot elevation.

The Azalea Nudiflora is very difficult to describe, as it 
has been described in so many different ways. Some 
say that this azalea is found in low swampy places. 1 
do not agree, as far as | know, it is found only above the 
3000 foot elevation. ! believe this species has been con- 
fused with the Canenses as it is also a pink. The Nudi- 
flora has smooth winter buds, flowers pink or carmine. 
Flowers appear before or with the leaves.
