Rhododendron farinosum (Argyrophylla) One of A. A. Maire discoveries from 1913, but was never introduce to
cultivation. It is suppose to be allied to R. denudatum, another of Maire discoveries from
this part of Yunnan, R. farinosum is a much more compact plant and seem closer to R. wiltonii
and probably should be transferred to Taliensia. The plants found are a perfect match on the
type specimen. Smallish ridged deeply veined leaves, with light brown indumentums on the
underside, which seem to quickly bleach to a light-grey.
