campylogynum

Dwarf evergreen alpine shrubs typically with a dense, mounding habit. The flowers (late spring) are pink to salmon-pink, red, claret, purple, plum to almost black-purple, or cream. The campanulate blossoms resemble small thimbles nodding at the ends of their long pedicels. The small rounded to elliptic leaves are typically quite shiny with a glaucous underside. A fantastic specimen plant for the rock or woodland garden. Also nice in a container or as a mass groundcover planting. Found in a wide range of habitats from 8,000 to 16,000 ft. in N India (Arunachal Pradesh), N Burma, S Tibet & Yunnan, China.
