Definition of azalea in English English dictionary

A botanical name at the rank of genus. Circumscription of the genus will vary with taxonomic viewpoint

Currently Azalea is submerged in Rhododendron.

A plant of the genus Azalea

a flowering shrub

any of numerous ornamental shrubs grown for their showy flowers of various colors

An azalea is a woody plant with shiny, dark-green leaves which produces many brightly-coloured flowers in the spring. a small bush that has large flowers (from azaleos ). Any plant of certain species of the genus Rhododendron (heath family), formerly given the generic name Azalea. Though some gardeners consider azaleas distinct from rhododendrons, distinguishing characteristics of the two groups are not consistent enough to separate them into two genera. Azaleas typically are deciduous (see deciduous tree), with flowers that are funnel-shaped, somewhat two-lipped, and often fragrant. Cultivated varieties have been bred from species native to the hilly regions of Asia and North America. Well-known North American kinds include the smooth, or sweet, azalea (R. arborescens); the flame azalea (R. calendulaceum); and the pinxter flower (R. periclymenoides)

{i} type of ornamental flowering plant
