Two varieties occur in China; intermediate between them is subsp. rubens Cowan (Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 20: 76. 1940; R. horaeum I. B. Balfour & Forrest var. rubens (Cowan) Davidian), described from Xizang. Rhododendron chaetomallum I. B. Balfour & Forrest var. xanthanthum Tagg & Forrest (Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 15: 308. 1927; R. xanthanthum (Tagg & Forrest) D. F. Chamberlain), described from Xizang, is almost certainly a hybrid of R. citriniflorum.
