» English Description
Joaquim Moreira da Silva，"Camellias in Portugal", American Camellia Yearbook, 1955, p.74: " ...I have one cross between the varieties D. Jane Andressen and Contessa Lavinia Maggi that I consider to be a very good one. The flowers are semi-double; the petals are red, streaked inside with white. The fimbriations are similar to, but larger than, those observed on Fimbriata. In homage to my father, I have given to this plant the name Alfredo Moreira da Silva.” Alfredo Moreira da Silva & Filhos, Catalogue Nº94, 1959-1960, Ref.101, p.23: "Carmine orange color, wavy and serrated petals". Alfredo Moreira da Silva, Catálogo Nº97, 1962-1963, p.27, changed the color to: Vermelho alaranjado, pétalas onduladas e recortadas. (Orange-red, wavy petals and serrulated).” Alfredo Moreira da Silva Catalogue No.106, 1971-1972, p.26: "Vermelho-alaranjado, pétalas onduladas e recortadas na segunda floração.(Orange-red, wavy petals and serrulated in the second blooming)".
