03AB87E9BF14FFDDFFAEB922FE26B84E.taxon	description	Replaced synonym: Andromeda ciliicalyx Miq., Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugduno- Batavi 1 (1863) 30. — Menziesia ciliicalyx (Miq.) Maxim. (1871) 10. Note — A new name is required as the epithet ciliicalyx is pre-empted in Rhododendron by R. ciliicalyx Franch. The new name honours Benjamin D. Hall (1932 –), University of Washington, whose studies into the evolutionary relationships of several groups of organisms, including Rhododendron, have greatly informed taxonomists.	en	Craven, L. A. (2011): Diplarche and Menziesia transferred to Rhododendron (Ericaceae). Blumea 56 (1): 33-35, DOI: 10.3767/000651911X568594, URL: https://doi.org/10.3767/000651911x568594
03AB87E9BF14FFDDFCE1BD42FB24B42E.taxon	description	Replaced synonym: Diplarche multiflora Hook. f. & Thomson, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 6 (1854) 383, t. 11 A. Note — A new name is required as the epithet multiflorum is pre-empted in Rhododendron by R. multiflorum (Maxim.) Craven (see above). The replacement epithet honours David Franklin Chamberlain (1941 –), Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, who has contributed significantly to our understanding of the taxonomy of Rhododendron.	en	Craven, L.

03AB87E9BF14FFDDFFAEBC31FEC7BB3B.taxon	description	Replaced synonym: Menziesia purpurea Maxim., Bull. Acad. Imp. Sci. Saint-Pétersbourg 11 (1867) 431. Note — A new name is required as the epithet purpureum is pre-empted in Rhododendron by R. purpureum (Pursh) G. Don. The replacement epithet honours Kathleen Anne Kron (1956 –), Wake Forest University, who has contributed significantly to our understanding of the evolutionary and systematic relationships of Ericaceae.	en	Craven, L. A. (2011): Diplarche and Menziesia transferred to Rhododendron (Ericaceae). Blumea 56 (1): 33-35, DOI: 10.3767/000651911X568594, URL: https://doi.org/10.3767/000651911x568594
03AB87E9BF14FFDDFFAEBD7BFF6EB42C.taxon	description	Replaced synonym: Menziesia ferruginea Sm., Pl. Icon. Ined. 3 (1791) t. 56. Note — A new epithet is required as ferrugineum is pre-empted in Rhododendron by R. ferrugineum L. The replacement epithet honours Archibald Menzies (1754 – 1842), the collector of the type material of M. ferruginea, itself the type species of Menziesia.	en	Craven, L. A. (2011): Diplarche and Menziesia transferred to Rhododendron (Ericaceae). Blumea 56 (1): 33-35, DOI: 10.3767/000651911X568594, URL: https://doi.org/10.3767/000651911x568594
03AB87E9BF14FFDDFCE1BFC1FB44BB66.taxon	description	Diplarche Hook. f. & Thomson (1854) 382, t. 11. Note — As discussed above, the position of Diplarche within Rhododendron is uncertain and a formal taxonomic disposition for the following two species is not possible.	en	Craven, L. A. (2011): Diplarche and Menziesia transferred to Rhododendron (Ericaceae). Blumea 56 (1): 33-35, DOI: 10.3767/000651911X568594, URL: https://doi.org/10.3767/000651911x568594
03AB87E9BF17FFDEFFAEBAA3FED5BE10.taxon	description	Replaced synonym: Diplarche pauciflora Hook. f. & Thomson, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 6 (1854) 383, t. 11 B. Note — A new name is required as the epithet pauciflorum is pre-empted in Rhododendron by R. pauciflorum King & Gamble. The new epithet is derived arbitrarily from the Greek, sophistes, master, expert, and is intended to honour those persons who strive to understand the natural world around them, to delve into the intricacies of the species on this planet, and to determine the evolutionary relationships and systematic positions of these species, etc. At a time when such knowledge is increasingly required, due to increasing pressure on natural and seminatural habitats, it is regrettable that the number of investigators is reducing around the world due to inadequate funding by governments.	en	Craven, L.
