The Royal hoRTiculTuRal SocieTy The international REGISTER and CHECKLIST (2004) Consolidated Supplement 2003-2017 THE INTERNATIONAL RHODODENDRON REGISTER AND CHECKLIST (2004) Consolidated Supplement 2003-2017

The second edition of the International Rhododendron Register and Checklist included accounts of all whose names had been registered up to the end of December 2002. This Supplement deals with all names registered during the period 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2017.

The layout of each entry follows the format adopted in the 2004 Register and Checklist and is explained there in detail on pages 7-10 of the Introduction. It may however be helpful to repeat here that the following abbreviations are employed:

(a) = azalea (az) = azaleodendron cv. = G = grown to first flower by… gp = Group H = hybridised by… I = introduced by… N = named by… (r) = rhododendron R = raised by… REG = registered by… S = selected by… (s) = seed parent (v) = vireya

Wherever possible colour references are given to the RHS Colour Chart (1966, 1986, 1995 & 2001) with the colour description being taken from A contribution towards standardization of color names in horticulture, by R.D. Huse and K.L. Kelly (ed. D.H. Voss), 1984. All raisers and introducers of new are urged to ensure that the names of their plants have been registered and are reminded that registration needs to be effected before the is introduced or the name appears in print. Registration forms can be obtained from the International Rhododendron Registrar (at the address given below), from the RHS website (www.rhs.org.uk/plants/plant-science/plant registration-forms/rhodoform) or from one of the national or regional registrars as follows:

Minor changes are not noted here but such changes have been made to the database and will be available in any future electronic version. The database will also be taking into account additional information that comes to light relating to any individual entry, as well as including further entries to the Checklist.In the following list the page number refers to the page in the Register and Checklist (or one of its Supplements) on which the entry concerned is to be found. ______‘Ada Brunières’ (p.19). Following information provided from Donald Waterer this cultivar should be shown as a Koster-raised Occidentale hybrid ‘Admiraal de Ruyter’ (p.21). Add the synonyms: ‘Admiraal de Ruiter’, ‘Admiral Ruyter’ ‘Admiraal Ruyter’ Add new entry: (Syn. of ‘Admiraal de Ruyter’) ‘Admiral de Ruiter’ Add new entry: (Syn. of ‘Admiraal de Ruyter’) ‘Adolphe d’Haene’ (p.21). Add the synonym: ‘Madame Adolphe d’Haene’ Akbar Group/‘Akbar’(p.28). Change parent ‘Loderi King George’ to ‘King George’ ‘Aldis-ieva’ (p.35). This should be written as ‘Aldis-Ieva’, as it represents a combination of two Latvian Christian names. It was raised in Latvia by K. Bauers & D. Getliņa in 1967. The description should read: Fls double, 2–3/truss, broadly funnel-shaped, 70–80mm wide, with 5 wavy-edged lobes, light pink (19/3), with an irregular white margin and strong cherry red spots. Calyx 3–5mm long. Lvs oblong or elliptic, 40 × 20mm, dark green.

Change the cross reference to ‘Baron G. Pycke’ ‘Berna Startreck’ (p.131). The note should refer to ‘Berna Startrek’ ‘Bernadette Chirac’ (p.130).

Change the category to (a): this is an evergreen azalea ‘Blue Nun’ (p.154). This is a deciduous, not evergreen, azalea ‘Bonbouche’ (p.162). This should be ‘Bon Bouche’ ‘Bouquet de Roses’ (p.167). Change the synonym ‘Roseiflorum Plenum’ to ‘Rosiflorum Plenum’ ‘Brilliant Abbé’ (p.176). Following the investigation by Grant, Toomey and Culham (Kalmia x Rhododendron debunked, in Rhododendrons with Camellias and Magnolias: 25-31 (2005)) this is no longer to be regarded as an intergeneric cross as the Kalmia latifolia x Rhododendron williamsianum parent (now known as ‘Everlasting’) has no Kalmia blood and is very close to R. brachycarpum ‘Brocade’/Brocade Group (p.178). Further research suggests that the ‘Vervaeneanum’ parent was a previously unrecognised rhododendron (rather than an azalea) cultivar, perhaps originating with van Nes. Thus ‘Brocade’ and the Brocade Group are correctly treated as elepidote hybrids ‘Bruce Hancock’ (p.179). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Bruns Schneewitchen’ (p.181). Change spelling to ‘Bruns Schneewittchen’ and the reference at the end of the entry to ‘Schneewittchen’ ‘Bryan Harris’ (p.181). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Buddy McMakin’ (p.182). Change J.

Change status to Caltwins Group. The cross was originally made by M.W. Michener (not Delp) and has been repeated by others. Some flowers may be hose-in-hose and the colour varies from pink or red to white ‘Capistrano’ (p.203). Insert two extra brackets in parentage before catawbiense and one after Fabia Group ‘Carolyn’s Day’ (p.215). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris Charmian Group (p.234). Further research suggests that the ‘Vervaeneanum’ parent was a previously unrecognised rhododendron (rather than an azalea) cultivar, perhaps originating with van Nes. Thus Charmian Group should be treated as elepidote rhododendrons not azaleodendrons Charopoeum Group (p.234). Change the category to (r): these are lepidote rhododendrons not azaleodendrons ‘Cheiranthifolium’ (p.236). This should be listed as an elepidote rhododendron not as an elepidote/lepidote cross ‘Cherish’ (p.237). This should be listed as an evergreen azalea not a rhododendron ‘Chidori’ (p.242). Change category from (r) to (a) ‘Cille Shaw’ (p.252). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Coronado Cascade’ (p.206). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Christopher Wren’ (p.251).

Add reference to a nomenclatural standard: colour print of an electronic image provided by Millais Nurseries (2016), WSY0119937 ‘Goldinetta’ (p.531). This epithet was subsequently shown to be a registered trade mark in Germany and should thus be treated here as a trade designation (GOLDINETTA). The name ‘Hachgold’ replaced it as the cultivar epithet, but this was subsequently used for another plant which was granted EU PBR as ‘Hachgold’, and is sold under the trade mark GOLDEN EVEREST. The original ‘Goldinetta’ should now be distinguished under the accepted cultivar epithet ‘Hachinetta’ ‘Goldschatz’ (p.532). This cultivar should now be known under the epithet ‘Goldprinz’, with GOLDSCHATZ treated as a trade designation ‘Grand Duke’ (p.540). Following Crossing the Rubicon (Coker & Millar, 1995) this is now treated as a grande hybrid. Fls large, in tight rounded trusses, champagne buff. Lvs broad, dark shiny green. Shrub to at least 2.0m. September (New Zealand). Syn. ‘Grand Lester’ ‘Grand Jury’ (p.542). Following Crossing the Rubicon (Coker & Millar, 1995) this is now treated as a grande hybrid. Fls very large, in large trusses, rosy pink, changing to cream and producing a stripey effect. Lvs large, felted when young. Shrub to 3.0m. September (New Zealand) ‘Gruss an Harrislee’ (p.551). The raiser, nominant and introducer of this cultivar was F.W. Dürre not H. Robenek ‘Haida Gold’ (p.568). This is now known to be a trade designation for the plant previously registered as ‘Bob’s Yellow’ ‘Hatsuki’ (p.580). Add: Kurume ‘Helena Neumann’ (p.586). Change category from (r) to (a) ‘Helene Thelemann’ (p.588). Change synonym ‘Helen Thelman’ to ‘Helen Theleman’ ‘Helloween’ (p.590). This was supplied with an incorrect spelling and should appear as ‘Halloween’ ‘High Summer’ (p.600) Add reference to a nomenclatural standard: colour print of an electronic image provided by Millais Nurseries (2016), WSY0119940 ‘Hikkasen’ (p.600). Change ‘Hiyakasan’ to ‘Hiyakasen’ ‘Hitachi’ (p.605). Change Elepidote rhododendron to Evergreen azalea ‘Hortulanus A. Fiet’ (p.615). The correct flower colour for this azalea, which is still in cultivation, is the salmon yellow listed by van Belleghem in 1913 ‘Hot Shot Variegated’ (p.618). This should be treated as a synonym of ‘Girard’s Variegated Hot Shot’ (p.510) ‘Imperatrix Eugenie’ Add new entry: (Syn. of ‘Impératrice Eugénie’) ‘J. Hutton Edgar’ (p.675). The reference to Cullen (1980) should read Philipson and Philipson (1975) ‘Janet’s Fantasy’ (p.663). The registrant has indicated that the name of the hybridiser should be amended to J. Nicolella ‘Johann Berg’ (p.681). The epithet ‘Johann H.C. Berg’ has now been shown to be the earliest published for this cultivar ‘Juliana Nova’ (p.695). Add the synonym ‘Julia Second’ ‘Kagetsu’ (p.701). Change informal grouping from Kurume to Satsuki ‘Kagetsu-muji’ (p.701/702). Change informal grouping from Kurume to Satsuki ‘Karl Glaser’ (p.707). Add to entry: R: K. Glaser (pre 1964), N: K. Glaser ‘Ken Burns’ (p.716). Delete the parenthesised note which relates to an unregistered use of ‘Ken Burns’ for a deciduous azalea by J.S. Yeates ‘Kerneostic’ (p.717). Change spelling to ‘Kernéostic’ ‘Kinsai’ (p.725). Change to ‘Kin-sai’ ‘King Elliott’ (p.722). The roles entries should be amended to E.W.E. Butcher, not E.W.E. Butler ‘Koasabi’ (p.730). Change reference to ‘Ko-osobi’ in the note to ‘Ko-asobi’ ‘Ko-mane’ (p.733). Change reference to ‘Sene’ in the note to ‘Sen’e’ ‘Koromo-shikibu’ (p.736). For macropetalum read stenopetalum (macrosepalum) ‘L’Infante Isabelle’ (p.790). Add the synonym ‘Infante Isabelle’ ‘La Tempérance’ (p.758). Change category from (r) to (a) ‘Lady Derby’ (p.746). The colour description should be corrected to read: pale creamy yellow, fading to white, with a large golden yellow blotch ‘Lady Strangford’ (p.751). Add: ‘with a striking black- red blotch’. Change: ‘rather loose truss’ to ‘slightly loose truss’ ‘Lauren’ (p.760). Change category from (r) to (a) ‘Le Vainquur’ (p.783). The spelling should be corrected to ‘Le Vainqueur’ ‘Ledifolium Noordtianum’ (p.766). Entry should read: (Syn. of ‘Noordtianum’) ‘Lee Thomas’ (p.767). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Lemon Dream’ (p.773). This was supplied with an incorrect parentage at the time of registration. The hybridiser now confirms that this should read: ‘Creamy Chiffon’ X yakushimanum, Exbury form ‘Low Boy’ (p.819). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris Luscombei Group (p.823). Change T. Luscombe to J. Luscombe ‘Luscombe’s Sanguineum’ (p.823). Change T. Luscombe to J. Luscombe ‘Luscombe’s Scarlet’ (p.823). Change T. Luscombe to J. Luscombe ‘Luscombei Splendens’ (p.823). Change T. Luscombe to J. Luscombe ‘Madame de Cannaert d’Hamale’ (p.832). This should be spelt ‘Madame de Cannart d’Hamale’ ‘Madame Rhatert’ (p.841). Change ‘Helen Theleman’ to ‘Helene Thelemann’ ‘Mademoiselle Marie Planchon’ (p.844). Add: Syn. ‘Marie Planchon’ ‘Mai-ogi’ (second entry, p.851). Change ‘Maisogi’ to ‘Maioogi’ ‘Margaret Rowell’ (p.861). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Mary Ann Egan’ (p.876). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Meteor’ (second entry, p.903). Change ‘Roshomon’ to ‘Rashomon’ ‘Midnight Flare’ (p.906). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Moidart’ (p.924). Add reference to a nomenclatural standard: colour print of an electronic image provided by Millais Nurseries (2016), WSY0119951 ‘Monsieur G.J. Bier’ (p.928). Add: Syn. ‘G.J. Bier’ ‘Monsieur Victor Savant’ (p.929). Add: Syn. ‘M. Victor Savant’ ‘Mrs W.T. Thistleton-Dyer’ (p.958). The spelling should be corrected to ‘Mrs W.T. Thiselton-Dyer’ ‘Novita Antilescens’ (p.991). Change ‘Novita Antecellens’ to ‘Novitas Antecellens’ ‘Ogi-no-odorikarki’ (p.1003). Change spelling to ‘Ogi-no-odorikaraki’ ‘Orange Favorite’ (p.1014). Change the spelling to ‘Orange Favorit’ and the spelling of the Group reference to Orange Favorit Group Orange Favorite Group (p.1014). Change the spelling to Orange Favorit Group ‘Oswald Shreiber’ (p.1023). Change the spelling to ‘Oswald Schreiber’ ‘P.M.A. Tigerstedt’ (p.1086). Add the synonym ‘Peter Tigerstedt’ ‘Peach Freckles’ (p.1044). The registrant has indicated that the name of the hybridiser should be amended to J. Nicolella ‘Peregrine Fledgeling’ (p.1052). Change the spelling to ‘Peregrine Fledgling’ and the synonym to ‘Fledgling’ ‘Peter Tigerstedt’ (p.1057). This should be treated as a synonym of ‘P.M.A. Tigerstedt’ ‘Petrick Alba’ (p.1058). Change ‘Schepen’s Kerstperel’ to ‘Schepens Kerstperel’ ‘Pink Gin’ (p.1071). Add reference to a nomenclatural standard: colour print of an electronic image provided by Millais Nurseries (2016), WSY0119962 ‘Pink Halcyon’ (p.1072). Change the spelling to ‘Pink Halcyone’ ‘Pissaro’ (p.1082). Change the spelling to ‘Pissarro’ ‘Président Comte Oswald de Kerchove’ (p.1096). Add the synonym ‘Président Oswald de Kerchove’ ‘Prinz Fredrich von Würtemberg’ (p.1110). Change the spelling to ‘Prinz Friedrich von Würtemberg’ ‘Prinz Rudolph’ (p.1111). Change ‘Prince Rudolphe’ to ‘Prince Rodolphe’ ‘Promenade Home’ (p.1113). This was listed incorrectly as an evergreen azalea; it is correctly an elepidote rhododendron (as the parentage listed implies) ‘Pukeiti Skyrocket’ (p.1116). The origin of this plant had been confused by the registrant: it had in fact originally been collected by Norman Cruttwell (pre-1986) on Mt Suckling, Papua New Guinea and taken to his Lipizauga Botanical Sanctuary on Mt Gahavisukar, from where it had been obtained by Graham Smith. It has sometimes been known as ‘Starburst’ and may be a selection from archboldianum ‘Rajpur’ (p.1133). The WSY number should read WSY0004518 not WSY0019220 ‘Red Arrow’ (p.1139). The parentage should be corrected to read: ‘Dopey’ X ‘Royal Blood’ ‘Rhodunter 48’ (p.1159). Add trade designations: INKARHO-DUFTHECKE, WEISS and INKARHO FRAGRANT HEDGE, WHITE ‘Rivermist’ (p.1165). Change J. Harris to J.O. Harris ‘Roi des Panachées’ Add new entry: (See note under ‘Mrs Wright’ (p.958)) ‘Romy’ (p.1176). Add reference to a nomenclatural standard: colour print of an electronic image provided by Millais Nurseries (2016), WSY0119964 ‘Rose Greeley’ (p.1182). Change the spelling to ‘Rose Greely’ ‘Rosy Cheeks’ (p.1189). Change ‘Pamela Mallard’ to ‘Pamela Malland’ ‘Rubescens’ (p.1198). Add the synonym ‘Autumnale Rubrum’ to the late-flowering periclymenoides selection ‘Rubinfeuer’ (p.1198). This was raised by A.W. Backhus c.1947–1948 and named by W. Schmalscheidt in 1988 ‘Salmon King’ (first entry, p.1213). Change ‘Mrs L.C. Fisher’ to ‘Mrs L.C. Fischer’ ‘Sanko-no-tsuki’ (p.1219). Add: Satsuki ‘Sārtā Niobe’ (p.1224). The raiser listed as Kurčevskis should read Karčevskis. The description should read: Fls double, 1–2/truss, broadly funnel-shaped, 80mm wide, with 5 wavy-edged lobes, carmine rose (621), with cherry red spots. Calyx 3–6mm long. Lvs oblong or elliptic, 30–40 × 15–20mm, dark green. February to March ‘Saturnus’ Add new entry: (Syn. of ‘Saturne’ (Ghent)) ‘Schneewitchen’ (p.1232). Change spelling to ‘Schneewittchen’ and the cross reference to ‘Syn. of ‘Bruns Schneewittchen’ ‘Schöne von Gressen’ (p.1233). This should read ‘Schöne von Giessen’. It was raised by F. Rehelt in Giessen, Germany, pre1916; it also has occidentale in its parentage ‘Show Stopper’ (p.1256). This should be listed as a vireya not an azalea ‘Silver Jubilee’ (p.1262). The parentage has now been corrected by the registrant to yakushimanum X ‘Coronation Day’ ‘Special Occaision’ (p.1294). The spelling should be corrected to ‘Special Occasion’ ‘Starburst’ Add as a synonym of ‘Pukeiti Skyrocket’ ‘Stewart Armstrong’ (p.1310). Change the spelling to ‘Stuart Armstrong’ ‘Stony Croft’ (p.1312). An error for ‘Stoneycroft’. Following Crossing the Rubicon (Coker & Millar, 1995) this is a macabeanum hybrid, raised by Joe Murdoch (pre 1992). Fls creamy. Lvs lime green at first, aging to rusty red and later to green ‘Stranraer’ (p.1312). This is a Knap Hill azalea, raised by Waterer (Knap Hill) pre 1970 ‘Summer Flame’ (p.1319). The plant used for the registration description has since been shown to be an error. The Slieve Donard Nursery cat. 1966/7 gives it as: Fls crimson. Shrub to 2.0m. June-July. The parentage is reported elsewhere as selfed Red Fox Group but the Slieve Donard records do not explicitly support this although the evidence is suggestive ‘Tintoretto’ (Frets) (p.1367). Change the date to pre 1877. W. Schmalscheidt (1995) gives the following description of a plant then in cultivation in Germany. Fls 10-15/ tight, conical truss, 50-65mm wide, reddish purple with black markings. Shrub eventually to 3.0m tall. Late May to early June, with decorative reddish inflorescence buds in winter ‘Tukuma Pērle’ (p.1393). This should be noted as an evergreen azalea, a sport from ‘Niobe’ and with the following description: Fls double, 1–2/truss, broadly funnel-shaped, 70mm wide, with 5 narrowly, but strongly wavy-edged lobes, white. Calyx 3–4mm long. Lvs oblong or elliptic, 30–50 × 13–18mm, green. February to March ‘Vainquur’ (p.1402). Both entries under this name should be corrected to read ‘Vainqueur’ and the cross reference under the first entry to ‘Le Vainquur’ should read ‘Le Vainqueur’ ‘Venus’ (p.1409). This is now correctly ‘Noemi’ with VENUS used as a trade designation ‘Vespers’ (p.1413). The pollen parent should be ‘Keisetsu’ not ‘Kaisetsu’ ‘Wesley Hayes’ (p.1441). The flower colour should be amended from white to read: scarlet red, aging to light red. It is probably an arboreum hybrid

GENERAL CORRECTIONS 1) Hydon Nurseries: With the agreement of Mr & Mrs George of Hydon Nurseries, all the cultivars of rhododendrons and azaleas that have been bred, named and/or introduced at the nursery have had the roles in their entries in the Register and checklist standardised to read: H: A.F. George, G: Hydon Nurseries, N: Mrs A.M. George, I: Hydon Nurseries and REG: Hydon Nurseries. The only exception to this is ‘Anne George’ which was named by Mr George for his wife. 2) Rhododendron lochiae: Following the comments in Argent (Rhododendrons of subgenus Vireya, 2006) and after consultation with regional representatives for the ICRA, the Registrar has amended all entries in The International Register and Checklist which included mention of R. lochiae to read R. viriosum, in the belief that no authentic hybrids have yet been named involving the true R. lochiae. If anyone has evidence in individual cases that true R. lochiae has been used in breeding please contact the Registrar.
