Rhododendron.Two new species of Rhododendron have been found in the country.

Khochii-var album has white flowers while Princenamgiae has pinkish flowers. Princenamgiae was named after His Royal Highness the Gyaltshab Namgyal Wangchuck.

The Ministry states these species never existed before in the country and they could be endemic, but only in Bhutan.

With the inclusion of these two new species, Bhutan’s Rhododendron diversity now increases from 46 to 48 and the Royal Botanical Park at Lamperi now boasts of 31 wild species of Rhododendron within the park’s zone, including the two species.
