Description
Rhododendron ___ species nova (Subsection Argyrophylla) SEH#18037 A new introduction from a newly explored region in southern China. This species is obviously a member of subsection Argyrophylla but does not match the descriptions of any currently known species in that large group. I did not see it in flower but this forms a dense rounded shrub with shiny oblanceolate leaves that are somewhat reminiscent of its probable close relative ririei but lacking the distinct indumentum of that well-known species.
