Taxonomic note This species may be recognized from R. yunnanense and its immediate allies by a combination of the relatively dense narrowly rimmed leaf scales and the size of the flowers. Royal Horticultural Society (1997)

An evergreen shrub up to 10 ft high; young shoots at first purplish red, scaly. Leaves narrowly oblong-lanceolate, 1 to 21⁄2 in. long, 1⁄3 to 7⁄8 in. wide, dark glossy green and slightly scaly above, dull brown and densely scaly beneath. Flowers opening in April in clusters of two to five at the end of the shoot and in the terminal leaf-axils, each on a scaly stalk 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 in. long. Corolla about 11⁄4 in. long, 13⁄4 in. wide, pale rose with a few red dots on the upper side. Stamens ten, paler than the corolla, downy at the base. Ovary covered with minute scales; style glabrous. Bot. Mag., tt. 8605, 8665, 8759. (s. Triflorum ss. Yunnanense)

Native of W. Szechwan and N.W. Yunnan; discovered and introduced by Wilson in 1904, but described from a specimen he collected four years later during his first expedition for the Arnold Arboretum, during which he again sent seeds. It grows up to 10,000 ft altitude and according to Wilson is very common near Kangting (Tatsien-lu), in sunny exposed places, where it flowers with great freedom. Seen at its best R. davidsonianum is a very pretty shrub, its flowers delicate in hue and abundant, varying in shade and spotting. A fine pink-flowered form grown at Bodnant received a First Class Certificate on May 3, 1955, when shown by Lord Aberconway and the National Trust. It had received an Award of Merit twenty years earlier.
