Upper Burma. This very beautiful Rhododendron is a 
native of Northern Burma, where it was met with at an altitude 
of about 7500 ft. in the Northern Shan States by Major C. W. 
Browne, of the Survey of India, by whom a supply of seed was 
sent to Colonel F. B. Longe, Holly Lodge, Thorpe, Norwich. 
One of the plants raised from these seeds was sent to Kew 
for determination, and was figured in the Botanical Magazine. 
According to Colonel Longe, this species in its native country 
grows on open grassy hillsides away from any large trees, 
prefers western slopes, and grows to a height of about 3 ft. 
In wild specimens the flowers are of a crimson-pink, which 
gradually turns to a delicate white, or to white suffused with 
pink.
