*There is some confusion regarding 'Chionoides' Rhododendron. Some sources, such as the American Rhododendron Society and others, cite the Rhododendron ponticum heritage. Dirr and other experts describe it as a hybrid of our native R. catawbiense. 'Chionoides' Rhododendron was hybridized in 1867 in Surrey England by J. Standish.
