RHODODENDRON, Ericaceae. These plants were grown from seed collected on my 2010 expedition to Yunnan in western China, a joint project with the Kunming Institute of Botany. With one exception they were found near the China/ Burma border on the mountain ridge that divides the upper Salween river from the headwaters of the Irawaddy, known as the Dulong, at about 27°43'N 98°27'E. The collections were made between 9,000’ and 13,000’ altitude. At this stage the names are tentative and the numbers should be retained. These three year seedlings in 9cm pots should be grown on for a year or two before planting out. 152 thomsonii?
