Rhododendron dalhousiae, also known as Lady Dalhousie's rhododendron, is a species of rhododendron first identified in the Eastern Himalayas by Joseph Dalton Hooker during his 1848-1850 expeditions to what is now Sikkim.[1] It is an epiphyte, normally found on tree, cliffs, and boulders, in the lower parts of the Himalayas at altitudes between 5,000 and 9,000 feet. Since its first identification by Hooker, it has been found throughout the southern border of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and northeastern India, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh.[2][3]
