rhododendron for id: rhododendron, ericaceae family, with white flowers for id garibans, singalila national park tall trees over twenty five feet unfortunately because of the rains most flowers had fallen second week of april this year reference flowers of india This seems Rhododendron grande. It is Rhododendron falconeri (Ericaceae). Pl. take it as confirrmed id. as I already studied. Actually its area of distribution in Darjeeling Himlaya starts from Tonglu and up to Gairibans, Dodhrey-Tonglu Rd, Tumling-Gairibans rd. Now the species is not common at all. I find it closer to R. grande rather than R. falconeri as per images at the links. References: |
