Rhododendron argyrophyllum (银叶杜鹃)[2] is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae.

It is native to forested slopes at 1,600–2,300 m (5,200–7,500 ft) in E and NW Guizhou, S and W Sichuan, and NE Yunnan in China.

Growing 3–7 m (9.8–23.0 ft) tall, it is an evergreen shrub with handsome elliptic or lanceolate leaves up to 13 cm (5.1 in) in length; and pale pink bell-shaped flowers in late spring.

The Latin specific epithet argyrophyllum, meaning "silver-leaved", refers to the silvery-white under-surface (indumentum) of the leaves.

[3] Several lower taxa are accepted:[4] R. argyrophyllum is hardy down to −15 °C (5 °F) but like most rhododendron species requires a sheltered position in dappled shade with acid soil that has been enriched with leaf mould.
