74 THE RHODODENDRON. 



Rhododendron candelabrum. 



This plant, of which a beautiful figure is 

 given in Hook. Ehod. pi. 29, is considered by Dr. 

 Hooker as a pale-flowered variety of R. Thomsoni. 

 (Hook. Rhod. pi. 12.) There are, however, some 

 slight botanical differences between the two. 



Rhododendron campylocarpum. 



This species is a small shrub, and is one of 

 the most charming of the Sikkim Rhododendrons. 

 Foliage bright green ; flowers bell-shaped, sulpliur- 

 yellow, spotless, and fragrant. 



Figured in Hook. Rhod. pi. 30 ; Bot. Mag. 83, 

 t. 4968. 



Rhododendron Nh^agiricum. 



This plant much resembles R. arboreum, of 

 which it may prove a variety. By some, however, 

 it is considered identical with R. Oampbellice. It is 

 a native of Nepal, and bears large trusses of rosy- 

 pink and white flowers. 



Figured in Fl. des Serres, 10, t. 1030-1 ; and 

 Bot. Mag. 74, t. 4381.

Is a native of Silhet, in the east Himalaya range.

 showy.
