Synonym

Ama-no-shita Autumn Flowering  Chūgai Nursery Catalogue, 1936-1937, p.26. Synonym for Amagashita.

Amegashita  Yokoyama, 1975, Gendai Tsubaki Meikan, p.66.Different reading for Amagashita.

Ame-ga-shita  Encyclopedia of Camellias in Colour, vol.I, 1972, p.69, pl.98.Different reading for Amagashita.

Ame-no-shita  Different reading for ‘Amegashita’ as a synonym for Amagashita.

Haruzaki-amagashita  Tuyama, 1968, Camellias of Japan, pl.278, p.175 as ‘Haru-zaki-ama-ga-shita’. This is a renaming of the old Amagashita as “Spring Flowering Amagashita” to distinguish it from another cultivar named Akizaki-amagashita or “Autumn Flowering Amagashita”. However it must be regarded as a synonym as Amagashita has priority.
