Collector’s notes
* This is the lowest R. catawbiense colony I know of, growing along the Tennessee River in northern Alabama.
Though people have called all southern or lowland strains “insularis,” this form seems more fuzzy in its
new growth and is apparently more heat resistant than the North Carolina piedmont form around Durham and Raleigh.
If there is a form of catawbiense that can survive cultivation in Atlanta, Birmingham or Charlotte, this is it.
Breeders might be interested. The flowers seem to have a bit less mauve in them than the mountain forms.
** Newly discovered in Santa Ross County, Florida. While this is not a recognized subspecies, it probably
ought to be.
Very distinctive with almost flocculent, non-banded flower buds and new growth. It is a slow grower and spreader
with an upright growth denser but not unlike that of var. montanum (also a banned name). The flowers are long tubed
and white and bloom down here in late April of early May. Some of the seed offered in the Seed Exchange a while ago
as “aemulans” turned out to be canescens, I am told. This is the real stuff. It is certainly not serrulatum.”

1 The cross (SM189 X SM232)15 is a selection from a cross of SM189 and SM232 by Dick Cavender. It is
frilly and has lots of yellow and pink in the flower.
2 The plant SM30 was discovered in their first year of exploration by Britt Smith and Frank Mossman.
It has yellow splotches on all five petals.
3 DD12 is a Smith-Mossman find that has a lot of pink in the flower and has been determined to be a tetraploid.
SM232 is a very colorful (yellow and pink) Smith-Mossman find.
The flower 2406 was found on the Old Coast Road just north of Gold Beach. It has a lot of pink in the flower and yellow
splotches, but not as many as SM30, on all five petals.
4 The cross SM30 X SM247 was originally made by Britt Smith to obtain more yellow on all petals.
The cross of the F1 progeny was made to get a yellower F2 flower.
5 The cross SM30 X 2406 was made to get more pink and yellow on the same flower. The reverse cross was
made with the same goal.
6 SM12 was a Smith-Mossman find with a flower that is uniform pale yellow throughout.
7 HS #5 was a find by Howard Sloneker that has some yellow on all five petals.

CHINA SEED COLLECTION 2011
The ARS Seed Exchange sponsored, in part, Jens Nielsen’s November 2011 rhododendron and companion plant seed collection trip
to the Chinese Provinces of Yunnan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan and Chongqing. The seed was cleaned and shipped from Scotland on
January 4th, 2012 and will need to clear the USDA Aphis Customs before they can be received and packaged. Our last shipment
from Europe took five weeks.
You may order one package of each seed lot from the following list. There is a charge of $4.00 per package plus shipping
and handling $3. US and $4. Outside US. We anticipate shipping the “China Seed” in March or April of 2012.
