Note 144 — Chapter XVIII
Reading edition
I collected here ten kinds of rhododendron, which, however, are not the social plants that they become at greater elevations. Still, in the delicacy and beauty of their flowers, four of them, perhaps, excel any others; they are, R. Aucklandii, whose flowers are five inches and a half in diameter; R. Maddeni, R. Dalhousiæ, and R. Edgeworthii, all white-flowered bushes, of which the two first rise to the height of small trees.
