Thomas Meehan 
Rosebay Rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum) ee 
“In a state of nature the Rhododendron inhabits wild, rocky places, in uninhabited regions where the foot 
of the traveler is rarely seen ... So far away are they generally in their gloomy homes that even the great 
traveler, John Bartram, had not met with them anywhere west of the Schuylkill river.”
