Rhododendron irroratum (露珠杜鹃) is a rhododendron species native to northern Vietnam and western Guizhou, southwestern Sichuan, and northern and southeastern Yunnan, China, where it grows at altitudes of 1,700–3,500 m (5,600–11,500 ft). It is an erect evergreen shrub or small tree growing to 2–4 m (6.6–13.1 ft) in cultivation, but may be double that size in the wild.[1] The leathery leaves are oblanceolate to narrowly elliptic, 7–14 by 2–4 cm in size. The flowers are variable in colour, and may be white or yellowish to violet-rose, but always spotted with greenish or purple flecks.[1]
