Rhododendron concinnum - Botanical Illustration & Plant Profile #237995 (License: Personal Use)

This 1880 lithograph by J. N. Fitch for Curtis’s Botanical Magazine depicts Rhododendron concinnum, a species native to southwestern China and northern Myanmar, noted for its compact clusters of vivid pink flowers with speckled throats and prominent yellow stamens. The illustration captures fine anatomical details-including leaf venation, petal texture, and floral symmetry-typical of Victorian-era scientific botanical art. The plate is labeled “Pl. 113” and credits artist H. J. W. Kew and engraver S. Sowerby.
