358 RHODODENDRONS COLLECTED IN 
y. angustifolium ; foliis lanceolatis angustatis utrinque acuminatis, juni- 
oribus pubescentibus. 
Apparently a distinct species. The leaf very narrow lanceolate, and, 
as yet, not discoloured beneath; for a considerable time pubescent. 
Seemingly also the produce of a curved capsule. 
To this section may also be referred R. fulgens, R. Wightii, R. niveum, 
R. arboreum, R. Nilagiricum, R. Campbellie, and R. cinnamomeum. 
Named in honour of my early botanical friend Dr. John Windsor, of 
Manchester.

Frutex ramosus: foliis oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis, glabris, conco- 
loribus, margine leviter undulatis, junioribus pubescentibus; eorym- 
bis multifloris; laciniis calycinis minutis acuminatis; staminibus 
10? filamentis glabris; capsulis arcuatis, glabris, 6-locularibus; se-

Has. Mountains of Bootan, about 7000 feet elevation, accompanying 
R. Edgworthii, and found lower down than A. Hookeri and A. 
eximium, but above R. Windsorii ; accompanied by Pines and Yews. 
This fine species, having some affinity with R. arboreum, forms lofty 
thickets after the manner of R. ponticum, through which the traveller 
finds dark and difficult paths. The stem attains the diameter of 7 
or 8 inches, with a smooth pale bark. The leaves, 4-6 inches long, 
are scarcely more than an inch wide, elegantly waved on the mar- 
gin in small plaits, so as to appear almost crenate, disposed partly in 
whorls, equally green and smooth on both surfaces when adult; the 
petiole less than } an inch in length; the young leaves and stems, in 
young plants, more or less clothed with reddish glutinous hairs, be- 
neath shining, with the pubescence chiefly confined to the midribs. 
Flower-cone oval; the scales smooth, rounded, and obtuse; innermost 
scales or bracts silky. Corymb ten- to twelve-flowered. Flowers large, - 
deep red. Stamens ten? smooth. Stigma five-lobed. Calyx small, 
as in R. arboreum; the segments broad, ovate, acuminate, Capsule 
1-1} inch long, incurved, six-celled, smooth, and dark brown. Seed 
small, darkish-brown, lanceolate, oblique, acute at both extremities. 
_ Found to be hardy in the climate of England. It grows promiscu- 
ously with the very hardy Pinus ezcelsa, and with several kinds of un-
