A shrub, 6-8 ft. Leaves 5-6 by 14-2} in. base rhomboid or rounded ; petiole 
1-3 in. Pedicels 4-¢ in. scaly. Calyx-lobes 1 in,in fruit nearly 5 in., triangular- 
oblong, glabrous, membranous. Corolla 3-4 in.; lobes 5, rounded. Stamens 18; 
filaments glabrous. Ovary 10-celled, scaly. Capsule 1 by à in., ellipsoid. Seeds 
linear-lanceolate, caudate, large for the genus; testa close, produced at the ends. 
Var. calophylla; calyx-lobes shorter sometimes ovate obtuse, eapsule much 
smaller. R. calophylla, Nutt. in Hook. Kew Journ. v. 362; Bot. Mag. t. 5002; FI.

The capsules in Griffith’s and Booth's (numerous) examples hardly average one half 
the size of those of R. Maddeni; the largest capsule in R. calophylla is hardly 2 by 
4 in. and its calyx-lobes are not at all enlarged in fruit. The leaves in the two 
varieties (or species?) are exactly alike.

Nattoung, alt. 7200 ft., Kurz. 
A shrub, 8 ft.; branchlets glabrous, rarely ferruginous-bristly. Leaves 1-23 in., 
variable in size, usually broadest above the middle, shortly acute, long attenuate to 
the base, glands beneath numerous (but not approximate as in R. Maddeni); petiole 
-4 in. Pedicels } iv., glandular-scaly; bracts 4 in., ovate, glabrous, ciliate. Calyx- 
lobes obtuse, hirsute or glabrous. Corolla 14-2 in. long and broad; lobes about as 
long as the tube, round, entire or slightly crenate, sometimes with pink marks. 
Stamens 10; filaments sparsely pilose. Ovary 5-celled, scaly. Capsule $ by 4 in, 
erect, symmetric. Seeds elliptic, acute; testa close, hardly produced at the ends. 
Var. salicifolia; leaves very narrowly lanceolate, sometimes 3 by less than j in. 
— Khasia, frequent. 
Var. inequalis ; capsule 2 by 3 in., ovoid, unsymmetric from a very unequal base. 
— Khasia; Kollong rock, alt. 5000 ft., H. f. 4 7.—This has been considered a dis- 
tinet species, and may be so, but the flowers are unknown. Branches often hirsute- 
setose ` leaves entirely without the setose cilia common (but sometimes wanting) in 
R. formosum, Capsules (of which there are numerous examples) more unsymmetric 
than in any other Indian Rhododendron. 
39. R. Veitchianum, Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 4992; leaves obovate-lanceo- 
late acute glabrous glandular-scaly beneath, corolla large white or pink wide- 
funnel-shaped. Fl. des Serres, xiv. t. 1416, xv. t. 1519-20. R. formosum, var.

A shrub, 8 ft.; sometimes epiphytie; branchlets glabrous or (in Kurz's example) 
hirsute. Leaves 34 by 1-1} in. base cuneate; petiole 4 in., sometimes hirsute. 
Umbels terminal, 3-8-fowered; pedicels } in., glandular-scaly; bracts 1 by 4 in., 
acute, villous below.  Calyz-lobes small, unequal, sometimes hirsute.. Corolla 2-24 
in. long. and broad, glandulur-sealy without or nearly glabrous; lobes 5, round, 
crisped-crenulate. Stamens 12-14; filaments hairy below. Ovary and base of the 
style densely glandular-scaly ; stigma large, peltate. Capsule not seen,—This hardly
