Vaccineum nummularia
i think Rhododendron sp??
Sirji you are right----it is Rhododendron sp. (species not identified this time). Vaccinium nummularia ---is totally different!
Thanks for the feedback ...
I think there is some mix up. I photographed the flowers followed by the plate. May be the vaccineum was not flowering at that time and attributed the name to this Rhododendron flower. I checked with Google images for the same and it totally looks different.
Lovely pics of one more Rhododendron
