R. species nova GR#0818 (Grandia). Rhododendron species nova GR#0818 This big-leaf species was collected
in an area of the eastern Himalaya that had never been explored by the early plant hunters. This may well be a new species,
it certainly does not match anything else that I have seen. This is a completely different taxon from 171sd2008 which we have
had in the catalog for the past year or so. These are closer to sinogrande but definitely different. I have planted a few of
these out in the garden and the leaves are quite large and impressive. This is a new collection from a different location in the eastern Himalaya.
