Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Right. The centers of diversity are in the Himalayas and Malaysia, but elsewhere native species can have some surprising locations: Greenland, for one. Who knew?

I looked up the Pontic rhododendron, and according to Wikipedia - cue grain of salt - it's not just native to Asia, but southern Europe as well. It's possible that some of your invasive clusters could have hailed from there, too.

According to the article I linked (for which no salt is necessary!), that seems quite likely:
'But from what we have observed the most aggressively invasive R. ponticum seems to exactly match the Iberian wild populations.'
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.
