Rhododendron konori, the Konor rhododendron,[1] is a rhododendron species native to Irian Jaya, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. It is an evergreen shrub growing to 3–3.5 m (9.8–11.5 ft) in height. The strongly scented flowers[2] range from pure white to dark red.
The specific epithet is sometimes rendered konorii, but this is unnecessary as the name honours a local Papuan deity.[2] The botanical name Rhododendron konori is regarded by some authorities as an unresolved name,[3] meaning that it has not yet been established as a correct scientific name for this plant.
