Rhododendron hyperythrum (微笑杜鹃, wei xiao du juan) is a Rhododendron species endemic to north-central Taiwan at 900-1200 m altitude. It is an evergreen shrub growing to 2.5 m in size, with leathery leaves, elliptic-lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, 7–12 × 2–3.5 cm in size. The flowers are unusual in being pure white.
