Please help me to identify this Rhododendron<\/em> collected from Tawang at elevation of about 3000m last week (26.4.12).<\/font><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
What a beauty! That stigma is so attractive even to us, what about the insects?.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
I am sending one more photograph which was taken just after flowering. I am little confused as leaves seems to be different.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Today I discussed this plant with Mrs. Huong who is working on ‘Ericaceae<\/em> of Vietnam’. She has asked to check this with Rhododendron singorande<\/em>.<\/div>\n

Please consider my reply with regard to the Rhododendron<\/em> with white flower.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

I agree with R. sinogrande<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

<\/strong>Can you please let me know the size of the leaves to confirm for sinogrande<\/em>. The stigma color is very unique though.<\/p>\n

\n

To me this looks closer to Rhododendron lanatum<\/em> which is distributed in NE India.

R. sinogrande<\/em>, on the other hand, is characterized by prominently huge leaves.<\/p>\n

\n
The photo sent by … from Tawang, is matched with Rhododendron sinogrande<\/em> Balf. & W.W.Sm<\/font><\/a>., not with R. lanatum<\/em> Hook. f. \u00a0Pl. match with the type specimen at BM (London) herbarium and protologue description.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I have some field suggestions to …:<\/div>\n
If it is R. sinogrande<\/strong><\/em>—-<\/font><\/div>\n
a. Trees up to 5-10 m high<\/font><\/div>\n
b. abaxial lamina with silvery white to grey indumentum, not brown<\/font> (but in R. lanatum<\/strong><\/em>, silvery-white to pale chocolate brown indumentum<\/font>)<\/div>\n
