Rhododendron arboreum, Smith. Fig. 3383. Large shrub or tree,
attaining 40 ft.: lvs. oblong to lanceolate, acute, rugose above,
distinctly veined and whitish or ferrugineous-tomentose beneath, 4-6
in. long: clusters dense; pedicels short; calyx minute; corolla
campanulate, blood-red, pink, or white, usually spotted, 1-1 1/2 in.
across; ovary ferrugineous-woolly or mealy, usually 7-9-celled.
March-May. Himalayas. B.R. 890. P.M. 1:101. Gn. 64, p. 415. G.W. 6, p.
595. Var. album, DC. (R. album, Sweet, not Blume). Fls. white, spotted
purple: lvs. ferrugineous beneath. G. C. III. 29:246. Var. cinnamomeum,
Lindl. Fls. white, slightly blushed, darker spotted than the preceding:
lvs. cinnamon-brown beneath. B.R. 1982. var. limbatum, Hook. Fls. with
rosy limb and white throat, blotched purple at base: lvs. white
beneath. B.M. 5311. Var. Kingianum, Hook. (R. Kingianum, Watt). Shrub:
lvs. broader, strongly bullate, very dark: fls. deep scarlet; filaments
rose-colored; calyx larger. G.C. III. 26:306. B.M. 7696. Var.
nilagiricum, Clarke. Fls. rose-colored to deep crimson, spotted: lvs.
ferrugineous beneath. B.M. 4381. Gn. 36:54. Var. puniceum, DC. Fls.
purple or scarlet: lvs. white beneath. Var. Windsorii, Voss (R.
Windsorii, Nutt.). Fls. deep crimson-scarlet; calyx with elongated
lobes: lvs. white beneath. B.M. 5008.— This species is tender and
suited only for warmer temperate regions, but has been crossed with
hardy varieties and its blood is recognizable in many of our most
beautiful hardy hybrids.
