Rhododendron subansiriense is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae, endemic to the Subansiri district [a] of northeastern India. [2] Growing to 14 m (46 ft) in the wild, it has dense trusses of red flowers spotted with purple.
It is rarely found in cultivation in temperate zones, as it is susceptible to late frosts. [2]
