The illustrated Rhododendron: their classification portrayed through the artwork of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine.

In a celebration of these wonderful shrubs, Pat Halliday presents the classification of the genus Rhododendron as proposed by the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, using as a medium the beautiful illustrations from Curtis’s Botanical Magazine.

There are 121 plates representing all the subgenera, sections and series within this complex genus. The new text accompanying each plate provides an account of the species in cultivation, history, distribution in the wild, habitat, relationship with other species and classification.
