Description

» English Description

van Houtte, 1858, Flore des Serres et des Jardins de L’Europe, vol.13, p.9, F.1858: This variety was obtained from seed by Sangalli of Milan, Italy. The flowers are medium sized, formal double, with over 80 petals, pure white background marked with bands and speckles of bright carmine. Also illustrated by Verschaffelt, 1859, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book XI, pl.3. Sports include: Doutor Balthazar de Mello, Dona Jane Andresson, Bonomiana Maculata, Bonomiana Nova, La Bonomiana Rubra, Bonomiana Rosea, Bonomiana Extra. Synonym: ‘Fain’s Best’, ‘Bonomiana Alba’. Ortho­graphic errors: ‘Bonomia’, ‘Bononnana’, ‘Bonsoniana’. Erroneously equated with Contessa Paolina Maggi (pure white) and Carolina Franzini (solid red). NOTE: the 'Bonomiana'  sold in Italy and other countries has a pink background as photographed and described  in University of Torino, "Camelie dell'ottocento nel Verbano" (= Nineteenth-hundred century camellias on Lake Maggiore) (2000)  p.68-69 and in P. Hillebrand &  G. Bertolazzi "Antique  camellias of Lake Maggiore" (2003) p. 107. Hence, the current 'Bonomiana' is a probable sport of the original one, described  by Verschaffelt.
