Rhododendron carolinianum 
A new American species 
Clear Pink. Absolutely Hardy 
THE smallest Alleghanian species; though wild, 
it attains a height of 15 feet and is wide- 
spreading. Leaves dark green, usually blunt 
and narrow, covered with rusty dots below, much 
smaller than either maximum or catawbiense. 
Flower-clusters appear in greatest profusion in 
June, covering the plant with a rose-colored mantle. 
Fine for rocky slopes or hillsides, standing ex- 
posure unusually well, and invaluable as a single 
specimen or for massing with the other species. 
Until this year we have been sending this 
beautiful and rare species out under the name of 
punctatum. Professor Sargent has recently called 
attention to the fact that it is a distinct species from 
the punctatum, differing in time of bloom, with 
more showy and profuse flowers, and making a 
much larger and finer plant than the true punctatum. 
It is now known as Rhododendron carolini- 
anum, being described and named by Alfred 
Rehder, Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass.
