Narrative
From USDA Plant Inventory No. 90: "71261 to 71387. From China. Seeds collected by F. A. McClure, agricultural explorer, Bureau of Plant Industry. Received January, 1927. [...] 71356. Rhododendron sp. Ericaceae. No. 853. Yeungkokteng, Anhwei Province. October 29, 1926. _Yeung shaan hung_. A handsome rhododendron with flame-colored flowers." From the record of NA 87312 at the U.S. National Arboretum: This material was used by B. Y. Morrison in the breeding of some of the Glenn Dale azaleas, and it is Morrison who identified this accession as Rhododendron simsii; a plant with this PI number was found growing on the old Glenn Dale hillside, and was likely brought to the Arboretum in 1939. It was evidently a selection from the original seedling lot, which had been accessioned at Glenn Dale with Bell number 8901; this selection was assigned Bell number 32453. The exact year this accession was received is unknown, but it probably arrived at USNA between 1939 and 1942 with most of the other early material that was planted in the same vicinity. Thus, the year of receipt is estimated conservatively as 1942.
