きんもうつつじ. しんちくつつじ.

常綠性灌木。葉披針狀長橢圓形至橢圓狀卵形，互生。莖頂萌發2～5朵繖形花序，花磚紅色，花冠漏斗形，5裂，裂片卵形或橢圓狀卵形，雄蕊10枚，不等長。

• 族群分布：海拔2700m以下山區，是台灣垂直海拔分布幅度最大、且數量最多的杜鵑花物種，植株散居闊葉林底層、溪谷河岸、林道邊坡、崩塌地，尤其是在灌木草生地火災後的山坡，是最快恢復生機的物種，對自然環境的適應力相當強。
• 最佳賞花地點：全台皆可見其蹤跡，奧萬大國家森林遊樂區、阿里山國家森林遊樂區、藤枝國家森林遊樂區及武陵國家森林遊樂區均可發現。
• 最佳賞花時間：花期三至七月，即使到秋天，依然偶見零星花朵綻放，是目前人工培育最成功的杜鵑花物種。
