| Synonymy: |
• Lyonetia ledi Wocke, 1859
• Rhododendron occidentale
• Rhododendron albiflorum |
| Taxonomic Notes: |
Lyonetia ledi Wocke, 1859 includes as a synonym [0469] Lyonetia candida Braun, 1916 in Kuroko (1964:23). This synonymy, unrecognized in Hodges et al. (1983) (Checklist), does not seem supported by DNA barcoding. However, it appears the BIN group for true ledi includes specimens from the northern Yukon. Pending further investigation, ledi is included in the list. |
