(cumberlandense X arborescens) X calendualceum is a Triploid
Two seedlings of [(Rhododendron cumberlandense X Rhododendron arborescens) X Rhododendron calendulaceum] have been determined to be a triploid using flow cytometry by

Rhododendron cumberlandense and Rhododendron arborescens are diploid species. Rhododendron calendulaceum is a tetraploid species.
In the case of these 2 triploids (39 chromosomes), a diploid crossed with a tetraploid produced a triploid indicating normal meiosis occurred where the diploid contributed a 1x gamete (13 chromosomes) and the tetraploid contributed a 2x gamete (26 chromosomes).
