" It has every appearance of a hybrid." {HooJcer.) Dr. Hooker 

 has stated that he has little hesitation in deeming it identical with 

 the " Rhododendron hybridum ; bigener Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 195." 

 and this, it may be inferred from Dr. Hooker's account, " is the 

 offspring of the common white glaucous-leaved Azalea, which 

 ■ had been fertiUsed with the pollen of Rhododendron maximum." 

 a. maximum hybridum Hook, has been cultivated, for some time, 

 in the Glasgow Botanic Garden ; where it was received under 

 the name of iJhododendron fragrans. Dr. Hooker has given 

 this name as a synonyme with the authority " Hortulan." to it. 



i^hododendron maximum hybridum Hook. " is amply worthy 

 of a place in every flower-garden and shrubbery : " its flowers 

 are fragrant. ( Bot. Mag., Dec.)

Pulcherrimum is " a most beautiful" variety. " It is of rather 

 delicate appearance ; but we are informed that it is quite hardy, 

 and an abundant flowerer." ^ohXedniim " is very much like the 

 other in all respects, except that its flowers are of a deep and 

 brilliant rose colour. Both are among the handsomest hardy 

 shrubs in cultivation." {Bot. Reg., Dec.)
