Gao Lianming (pers. comm.) notes that a wider circumscription of Rhododendron westlandii is used here than in FRPS (57(2): 355. 1994, where it was treated as a synonym of R. moulmainense). Recent herbarium studies indicate that the calyx characters that have been used to separate R. westlandii from R. kaliense and R. linearicupulare are very variable and cannot be reliably used to delimit species.
