Rhododendron saluenense subsp. chameunum (Balf.f. & Forrest) Cullen (E00327574)

CETAF ID: http://data.rbge.org.uk/herb/E00327574
Catalogue Number: E00327574
Scientific Name: Rhododendron saluenense subsp. chameunum (Balf.f. & Forrest) Cullen
Collector Number: 1690
Family: Ericaceae
Genus: Rhododendron
Species: saluenense
Field Notes: This precisely echoes F1045 in every way, even to habit and habitat, but seems a quite distinct species, with hairier, narrower foliage, and great magenta-crimson flowers usually solitary. This range seems, in fact, to repeat F.1045, F.1046, in two species extraordinarily similar, yet distinct. Whereas F.1046 & F.1045 have twin flowers, for instance, F.1690 & F.1683 are 1-blossomed. [No; both these run as frequently to pairs. July 22.] Cf. also F.1683
