 hybrids. At Kew it has been fertilized by the pollen of belated flowering forms of R. Ponti- 

 cum Linn, and of R. decorum Franch. Flowers fragrant. Leaves finest of all Rhododen- 

 drons. Hardy in the valley of the Thames. Should be protected from the midday sun. —

 6000-10,000 feet. The flowers, white to pale rose, are solitary and axillary; the shrub may 

 flower when 2 years old. Probably will prove to be a hardy Rhododendron. Related to 

 R. racemosum from which it is distinguished by longer and more narrow leaves. — Oliver A.
