There are 15 native Rhododendron species in Taiwan, among which 11 species are endemic and compose 73% of these native species. Although researchers predominantly use cuttings to propagate Rhododendron shrubs, there are no studies on the seed germination of Rhododendron species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the seed germination of four Rhododendron species in Taiwan under different light intensities and photoperiods.
