Rhododendron species nova? (formerly poilanei) CDHM#14725

First introduction into cultivation. This is an almost prostrate species that was observed growing on vertical cliff faces and which has the strangest growth habit (for a vireya) of growing along the top of the container– both above and below the soil line - popping up and out on the edges (like a groundcover). Tiny glossy leaves and deep yellow single flowers. Should have quite a bit of hardiness. A very unique and distinct species. NOTE: Formerly sold as poilanei.
