» English Description
Botanical Society of New South Wales Report, 1848, invalidly as ‘Aspasia’: White flushed flesh pink at base of petals and flaked with pink. Large, peony form. A Macarthur seedling from Camden Park, N.S.W., Australia. Due to confusion in nomenclature rules on priority, with an Italian cultivar of the same name, Professor Waterhouse, in his Camellia Trail, 1952, p.13, proposed that the name should be Aspasia Macarthur. In America the names Aspasia and ‘Aspacia’ have been used as erroneous synonyms for Emperor of Russia Variegated, whereas, the Camellia Aspasia Macarthur was erroneously equated with Paeoniaeflora and Pomponia. Synonyms included: ‘Pomponia Improved’, ‘Flore Celeste’, ‘Aspasia Nova’, ‘Aspasia’(New). Sports include: Lady Loch, Otahuhu Beauty, Camden Park, Strawberry Blonde, Can Can, Jean Clere, Margaret Davis, Just Sue. Orthographic errors:‘Asposia’, ‘Asphasia’. Pseudonym: ‘Paeoniaeflora’. Photo please see the cover page of Newsletter of Camellias Australia Inc. 2021 v.1 No.1, Considered to be the first notable Australian raised Camellia cultivar. Chinese synonym: ‘Makade’.
