Rhododendron maximum Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 392. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Virginia. Collinson." RCN: 3092.

Lectotype (Chamberlain in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 51: 753. 2003 [2002]): [icon] " Chamaerhododendros lauri-folio semper virens, floribus bullatis corymbosis " in Catesby, Nat. Hist. Carolina 2, App.: 17, t. 17. 1747.

Current name: Rhododendron maximum L. View in CoL ( Ericaceae ).

Note: Chamberlain (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 39: 316. 1982) indicated unseen Collinson material as the type (based on Linnaeus’ "Habitat in Virginia. Collinson."), but as it was not possible to trace any such material, he subsequently designated Catesby’s illustration as the lectotype.
