An evergreen small shrub of the Ericaceae family (APG classification: Ericaceae). The leaves are linear and dense, 6-12 mm long, with grooves on the surface. In July and August, the purple-red, egg-shaped, urn-shaped flowers, 7-10 mm long, bloom downwards on slender stalks with glandular hairs along with the sepals. They grow in colonies in the alpine zones of northern Honshu and Hokkaido, and are widely distributed in the cold zones of the Northern Hemisphere.
