The Rhododendron, Camellia and Magnolia Group is privileged to have been asked to host a comprehensive new digital publication on Genus Rhododendron. This work represents years of forensic research and careful compilation of a wide range of resources and scientific papers to bring together not only a current view of taxonomic presentation but also a vast array of references, both written and pictorial, all of which will be of enormous benefit to rhododendron enthusiasts at all levels of interest.

Temperate Rhododendrons. A digital work in Eight Volumes by Julian Taylor-Whall:

• describes the species and hybrids etablished outdoors in the leading woodland gardens of England, Scotland and Wales.
• Investigates the species curated in accordance with scientific advances and field study evidence published in three decades since the Edinburgh revision of the classification as presented in the RHS Rhododendron Handbook 1998.
• presents a comprehensive range of hybrids selected and assessed with the benefit of hinsight rather than hype, where disposition and floral beaty are the key determinants for inclusion, not their commercial availability.
• The texts are illustrated with over 3000 photographs taken by the author.

Volume one rewiews and amends the classification of Genus Rhododendron to conform with the molecular phylogeny studies of 2005 and 2010, as well as taking account of recent work on polyploidy. A visual guide to help identify the varios species follows this updating, along with a glossary of scientific terminology and listing of various seed collecting expeditions.

Volume Two considers Subgenus Therorhodion and the species placed within Subgenus Azaleastrum.

Volume Threee & Four document the taxa assigned to Subgenus Hymenenthes.

Volume Five examines the rhododendron within the three sections of Subgenus Lepidorrhodium – the Lepidote species.

Volume Six evaluates the Naturel Hybrids: plants that have arisen in the wild from undirected pollination and established stabilised populations, as well as host of seed pan rogues germinated in cultivation.

Volume Seven and Eight survey the Azaleodendrons, Deciduous and Evergreen Azaleas, Lepidote and Elepidote Hybrids created though directed pollination.
