Rhododendron ferrugineum may grow up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall and produces clusters of pinkish-red, bell-shaped flowers throughout the summer. The undersides of the leaves are covered in rust-brown spots, which give the species the second part of its binomial name (ferrugineum, Latin for 'rust-coloured, ferruginous').
Rhododendron hirsutum A species of the Vireya section.. Rhododendron subgenus Rhododendron is a subgenus of the genus Rhododendron.With around 400 species, it is the largest of the eight subgenera (more recently reduced to five) [1] containing nearly half of all known species of Rhododendron and all of the lepidote (scales on the underside of the leaves) species.
In addition to various Rhododendron species, mad honey can also be made from several other grayanotoxin-containing plants. Honey produced from the nectar of Andromeda polifolia contains high enough levels of grayanotoxin to cause full body paralysis and potentially fatal breathing difficulties due to diaphragm paralysis.
In cancer cells, major changes in gene expression increase glucose uptake to support their rapid growth. Unlike normal cells, which produce lactate only when oxygen is low, cancer cells convert much of the glucose to lactate even in the presence of adequate oxygen. This is known as the “Warburg Effect.”

Genus Rhododendron consists of eight subgenera based on morphology; this page refers to only those lower divisions in subgenus Rhododendron, commonly known as the scaly or lepidote rhododendrons. Molecular evidence suggests that the subgenus Rhododendron is monophyletic , and the section Vireya is monophyletic as well with section Pogonanthum ...
