Rhododendron subsection Brachycalyx is a subsection of the genus Rhododendron, in section Tsutsusi, subgenus Azaleastrum, consisting of fifteen species of Azaleas from Asia.
Leaves deciduous, pseudoverticillate, rhombic, crowded at the shoot apex and monomorphic, hairs usually confined to axils.
The section Brachcalyx was first proposed by JC Tate based on the Chinese Rhododendron farrerae, and described by Robert Sweet in 1831, in The British Flower Garden.
