HUTCHINSON—THE MADDENI SERIES OF RHODODENDRON. 65 
more than half their own diameter apart, the epidermis very 
densely covered between the scales with conspicuous rod-like 
papillae; petioles 0.5-1 cm. long, wrinkled and lepidote, with 
a groove on the upper side, setose-ciliate like the leaf-margins 
when quite young, soon not setose. Injlorescence tending to 
obscure the leaves, 2-4-flowered, the pedicels arising from 
approximately the same level; scars of the fallen bud-scales 
rather lax and rim-like, transversely linear, straw-coloured ; 
pedicels 1-1.5 cm. long, about 2.5 mm. thick, very densely 
lepidote with contiguous or overlapping scales. Calyx mostly 
small and saucer-shaped, obscurely lobed or rarely one lobe 
elongated to about 1 cm. long, the normal lobes densely scaly 
outside and fringed with long hairs on the margin (in some 
flowers these hairs are poorly developed). Corolla white occa- 
sionally flushed with rose outside, with a yellow blotch inside 
at the base (Forrest), very widely funnel-shaped from the base, 
rather densely scaly outside especially on the tube; tube a 
little shorter than the lobes, 3—3.5 cm. long, softly and shortly 
pubescent outside the base; lobes 5, rounded, 4 cm. long, 
crenulate, lepidote outside. Stamens 10-11, reaching to about 
the middle of the lobes, slightly unequal; filaments slender, 
densely and softly pilose on their lower 4; anthers 4—4.5 mm. 
long. Ovary 5-7-celled, 6 mm. long, densely lepidote; style 
curved, about as long as the corolla, lepidote in its lower % or 
slightly higher, not hairy as well, crowned by the distinctly 
lobulate viscid stigma about 3.5 mm. broad. Capsule not seen.

- This beautiful species will probably prove to be the gem 
of the ciliicalyx alliance. It is named in honour of my late 
friend and colleague, Munro Briggs Scott, who was killed at the 
battle of Arras in April 1917 (cf. Kew Bull. 1917, 210).
