Abstract
Rhododendron obscurum Sleumer (Ericaceae) is a species endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. This name is a later homonym of Rhododendron obscurum Franch. ex Balf.f. In preparation of a revision of the Ericaceae for the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia and of a Red List assessment of this species by the Global Conservation Consortium for Rhododendron, a new name, Rhododendron benomense Rafidah & A.C.Elliott, is proposed here.
