In July of 1903 at the extreme western part of Sichuan, Wilson came across the intensely dark red R. moyesii. A common species in mountain thickets, the plant’s flowers vary in color. Vilmorin had described it in 1894, calling it R. macrophylla var. rubrostaminen—rubro referring to red, and dark red is the way most knowledgeable people think of the blossom.
