  常绿灌木,高2-3(-8)米;小枝灰褐色,被短柔毛和稀疏的腺头刚毛。叶散生,薄革质,卵形或卵状椭圆形,长3-5.5厘米,宽1.5-2.5厘米,先端凹缺,具短尖头,基部宽楔形或近于圆形,边缘浅波状,具刚毛状细齿,除上面中脉被短柔毛外,两面均无毛;叶柄长约5毫米,被短柔毛和腺毛。花芽圆锥形,鳞片长圆状倒卵形,外面密被白色短柔毛。花1朵侧生于上部枝条叶腋;花梗长1.2-1.6厘米,被短柔毛和腺头毛;花萼5深裂,裂片卵形或倒卵形,钝头,具条纹,长3-5毫米,宽3-4毫米,外面被微柔毛,边缘密被短柄腺毛;花冠淡紫色、淡紫红色或淡紫白色,辐状,5深裂,裂片阔倒卵形,长1.8-2.1厘米,宽达1.4厘米,上方3裂片内面近基部具深红色斑点和短柔毛;雄蕊5,不等长,长2-2.8厘米,与花冠等长或略比花冠短,花丝扁平,中部以下被微柔毛,花药长圆形,长约3毫米;子房密被短柄腺毛,花柱比雄蕊长,长2.5-3.2厘米,微弯曲,伸出于花冠外,无毛。蒴果卵球形,长7毫米,直径6毫米,密被短柄腺毛。花期4-5月,果期6-10月。
  产安徽、浙江、江西、湖北、湖南、广东、广西、四川和贵州。常生于海拔600-1 600米的疏林内。模式标本采自贵州。
  本种与马银花 R. ovatum (Lindl.) Planch. ex Maxim. 相近,唯不同在于花萼裂片卵形或倒卵形,边缘密被腺头毛,易于区别。
  作者在发表杭州马银花 R. hangzhouense Fang et M. Y. He 时只根据一张标本上的花萼裂片很小而建立的种,后来发现在这一亚属中花萼裂片的大小是有变化的,故将此种合并于腺萼马银花内更为合理;谭沛祥发表的桂东杜鹃 R. sanidodeum Tam是根据叶边缘具细圆齿和腺头刚毛;花萼裂片卵状长圆形,边缘密被流苏状腺毛,这些特征与腺萼马银花非常相近,作者认为以不分开为好,故将此种合并于腺萼马银花中。

Shrubs, 2–3(–8) m tall; young shoots gray-brown pubescent and sparsely glandular-setose.

Pedicel 1.2–1.6 cm, pubescent and glandular-hairy; calyx deeply lobed; lobes ovate or obovate, 3–5 × 3–4 mm, puberulent abaxially or glandular-hairy, margin with dense short glandular hairs, apex obtuse and fluted; corolla rotate, purple or purplish, with dark red flecks on upper three lobes, 1.8–2.1 cm; lobes broadly obovate, ca. 1.4 cm wide, pubescent near the base within; stamens 5, unequal, 2–2.8 cm, as long as or slightly shorter than corolla; filaments flat, puberulent below the middle; ovary densely shortly glandular-hairy; style 2.5–3.2 cm, slightly curved, exserted, longer than stamens, glabrous. Capsule ovoid, ca. 7 × 6 mm, densely shortly glandular-hairy. Fl. Apr–May, fr. Jun–Oct.
Open forests; 600–1600 m. Anhui, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang.
The characters used to separate Rhododendron bachii from R. ovatum are fairly trivial, especially those relating to the calyx indumentum. Furthermore, there is continuous variation in these characters, suggesting that R. bachii should be treated as a synonym of R. ovatum.
