Rhododendron minus Michaux var. chapmanii (A.Gray)W.H.Duncan & Pullen
CHAPMAN'S RHODODENDRON
**
Wilbur & Pullen (1962) concluded that only the short petioles (mostly 3-5 mm long) reliably distinguished this taxon, but obtuse leaf apices and erect, rigid branches were usually distinctive. Species rank may also be preferred, with the additional character that seeds are more ornamented in this taxon (Weakley et al. 2015).
