922Manbyeongcho(Rhododendron aureum) of Mt Paektu
백두산만병초/
It is 20-50 cm high. The stem lays down and spreads many branches. The nodes are attached with scales that are formed every year. The leaves are alternate, and at the end of the branch, it looks like a pillow attached to it. The leaf body is long-round or inverted, shiny, and the edges are rolled back and dried. It is a thick thick leather. Around June-July, an even inflorescence is formed at the end of the branch, and beautiful pale yellow flowers (about 3cm in diameter) bloom in clusters. The calyx is very small and the flower cap is bell-shaped and shallowly 5-pronged. 10 male stamens and 1 pistil. The fruit is a long round bouncing fruit and has brown hairs. Propagation is by cuttings or seeds. The leaves contain andromedotoxin, flavonoids, and ursolic acid. Manbyeongcho is planted for ornamental purposes, and the leaves are used as blood pressure lowering drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs. In the private sector, the leaves are eaten for arthritis, joint swelling, and neuralgia. The large manbyeongcho (R. fauriei), a similar species, grows up to 4 to 5 m, and its leaves are used as medicine.[8]
