16. Rhododendron sophistarum Craven View in CoL , nom. nov.
Replaced synonym: Diplarche pauciflora Hook.f. & Thomson , Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 6 (1854) 383, t. 11B.
Note — A new name is required as the epithet pauciflorum is pre-empted in Rhododendron by R. pauciflorum King & Gamble. The new epithet is derived arbitrarily from the Greek, sophistes, master, expert, and is intended to honour those persons who strive to understand the natural world around them, to delve into the intricacies of the species on this planet, and to determine the evolutionary relationships and systematic positions of these species, etc.At a time when such knowledge is increasingly required, due to increasing pressure on natural and seminatural habitats, it is regrettable that the number of investigators is reducing around the world due to inadequate funding by governments.
