Remarks
Protologue shows this hybrid as a cross between A. viscosa and A. indica var. alba. Since the cited hybrid parents are at different ranks, the name A. viscosepala at species rank is inappropriate to its hybrid formula (see Vienna Code Art. H.5.2. Ex. 1). Rehder (in E. H. Wilson & A. Rehder Monogr. Azaleas 182. 1921) treated the hybrid as Rhododendron viscosepalum and as a cross between R. molle and R. viscosum.
