• Type: "On the summit of Mount Bellenden-Ker, at an elevation of about 5000 feet. W. Sayer and A. Davidson."

• Etymology: "The dedication of the only Australian Rhododendron to Lady Loch, is in special recognition of the patronage, given by her Ladyship to Victorian Horticulture and in particular to that very group of plant [sic; plants], the occurrence of which in the Australian vegetation is now only rendered known, more than 80 years after the discovery of Mt. Bellenden-Ker."
