The Garden, July 2^rd, 1881, 
RHODODENDRON RETUSUM. 
This is the name given by Mr. Mangles, Valewood, Haslemere, to the pretty 
small flowered shrub received last week from Mr. Luscombe. Mr. Mangles adds a 
few interesting particulars respecting it : “ Mr. Henshall, at one time Messrs. 
Rollisson’s collector, found it in Java. That firm hybridised it with 
R. Javanicum and raised R. ‘ Prince of Wales ’ (see Floral Magazine, 
plate 155). Mr. Davies, of Ormskirk, exhibited this year what seems to be the 
same cross under the name of R. ‘ Daviesi ’ (see Garden, May 7th, 1881, p. 
464). This species is not very numerous in English gardens.”
