Rhododendron ririei subsp. leiboense M. Y. Fang (Acta Phytotax. Sin. 30: 556. 1992), described from Sichuan (Leibo), is said to differ in having the leaf blade more narrowly oblanceolate to elliptic-lanceolate, less leathery, with a silvery indumentum abaxially and a cuneate base, pedicels more slender, and corolla with a narrower base. This taxon was not included in FRPS.
