RHODODENDRON Dalhousie ; hybridum. 
A fine plant of this has been presented to us by Isaac Ander- 
son Henry, Esq., of Hay Lodge, Trinity, Edinburgh, as a hybrid, 
the offspring of Rhododendron formosum (see our Tab. 4457), fer- 
tilized by the pollen from 2. Dalhousie (see our Tab. 4718). 
The size of the flowers is that of its noble parent 2. Dalhousie, 
but it has derived a tinge of pink from 2. formosum, and the 
ciliated calyx also resembles the latter species, while the leaves 
are intermediate in size, and are quite glabrous. The anthers 
are small and abortive.
