Seed Exchange Lots for 2005

Every effort is made to avoid spelling errors, species are listed under the name supplied by the contributor and thus vary as to classification system.  Not all hybrid names are registered or found in other reference works.
hp = hand pollinated seeds.  Seed lots not marked are hp.
op = open pollinated
cp = controlled pollination, which differs from "hp" in that the stigma is physically covered after pollination. This covering is meant to act as an extra protection against accidental contamination with unknown pollen.
cw = collected in the wild

    somewhat loose truss.

 1 ARS 82/498, cross by August Kehr
 2 ARS 84/1022, cross by Jens C. Birck
 3 Flautando = R. brachycarpum ssp. fauriei x Goldsworth Orange. In Mr.Voith's opinion, one of Hachmann's best hybrids. Probably
    frost hardy to at least -25°C (-13°F), well branched, nice leaves and reliably floriferous with a color, seldom seen on a plant of such
    hardiness.
 A1 Aim: healthy, yellow scented flowers.
 A2 Aim: healthy, yellow/orange scented flowers.

38. [Phipps 27 x (Golden Star x Phipps Yellow)] x Murcott Yellow Hybrid
2
 1 Debutante = Locally known unregistered hybrid of Mars x R. yakushimanum. Not to be confused with either azalea 'Debutante' or
    registered rhododendron 'Debutante' which is a synonym for 'White Mustang', (R. calophytum x Goldsworth Yellow).
 2 Murcott Yellow Hybrid = {{ (Hardgrove's Deepest Yellow x Phipps Yellow) x {(Scintillation x Inamorata) x [(R. wardii x R.
   dichroanthum) x R. fortunei]3}}} X Phipps Yellow
 3 Mr. Murcott writes: "Don Hardgrove had and used hardy fortunei frequently as a seed parent. I didn't think that wardii x dichroanthum would be hardy even in Don's protected garden. Don did have in his notes something about a fine example of wardii x dichroanthum growing on the West Coast. I suspect that the cross is reversed and that hardy fortunei was the seed parent."

 1 Requires up to two years for germination; stratification seems to make no difference. Several plants in each pod but the latter are virtually impossible to break apart; separate plants at transplant. Protect from jays or other birds, particularly new growth.
NOTE: Thompson & Morgan Successful Seed Raising Guide:
Double Dormancy: (3-4 months warm moist, 3-4 months frig.) expect germination in 300 - 365 days.
Please note: LOT 187 will not be labeled or packaged, as they are the size of medium pecans, expect three – four.

556. R. aureum Georgii2
 1 Eastern Siberia, Eastern Sayan mountain range (~100 km to the west from Slyudyanka, the most western point of Baikal lake), vicinity of Arshan village. On calcareous rocks in sub-alpine zone, only on southern slopes, on open places without shadow. In winter southern slopes usually get up to 80 cm of snow, but it is often blown off by wind. Very cold resistant, very fragrant. Used by local people as a medicinal plant for making tea.

Evergreen small shrub with divaricate branches. Leaves oblong-elliptic, 1-2 cm long, 0,5-1,0 cm wide, glabrous, matt green above and rusty-brown beneath. Flowers 7-15 sessile in compact trusses, pink, 1,5 cm in diameter. Flowers in June-August. AKA: R. primuliflorum

 2 Eastern Siberia, south-western part of Lake Baikal, Kchamar-Daban mountain range, vicinity of Tanchoy village. Northern slope, rhododendrons grow in the moss, in partial shade of Pinus pumila. Soil is not compacted, well aerated. A lot of precipitation in winter and in summer. In summer the air humidity is very high (mist from Baikal lake). Plants about 1 m high. Very cold resistant. Used by local people as a medicinal plant.

Mr. Clark tried to collect species from the highest altitude. Temperatures ranged between +23°C. in the daytime and -15 °C. over-night. At first light in morning he relayed that it was the first time he saw rhodies in the wild with their leaves curled; also, due to heat stress leaves curled at mid-day. Overall growing conditions were very hard.
