Abstract: The azalea and camellia collection
of the “Anastasie Fatu” Botanical Garden of the “Alexandru
Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi holds an important significance
for the horticultural value of the plant inventory cultivated
in greenhouses. It includes 45 valuable taxa, mainly due to their
size and age. The specimens in the collection are showcased through
exhibitions organized annually since 1975, so in 2025 the 50th
edition took place. In the Romanian botanical space, this collection
has represented a constant, even in cases where specialized information
regarding these taxa was rare or confusing.
