Description

» English Description

Wilder, 1844, Magazine of Horticulture, 10:150. Originated by Smith. Not ade­quately described. The American Garden Magazine and Register, 1844, first listing. Hovey, 1848, Magazine of Horticulture, 12:292: One of the very best, a rich dark rose, perfect in form, superbly imbricated; this is a seedling of Mr J.B. Smith of Philadelphia, USA and was accidently found among a lot of plants purchased at his sale some years ago. The variety at present under this name is blotched with white, which is probably a viral infection picked up along the way. It is illustrated and described in Hertrich, 1954, Camellias in Huntington Gardens, vol.I, p.66, 69. where it is described as a formal, imbricated double; spinel pink 0625/1, petal margins shading to 0625/2 and /3 with the bud centre, 0625 self colour, splashed white in irregular patterns, 8 cm across by 4 cm deep. Leaves; obovate, tending to cup, 8-10 cm long by 5.5 cm wide, dark glossy green, thick, coarsely serrate, apices abrupt pointed. Vigorous, bushy growth, Late flowering. Orthographic errors: ‘Brookliana’, ‘Brookleyana’, ‘Brooklinia’, ‘Brooklyana’, ‘Brooklyni’, ‘Brooklyn’, ‘Brookyniana’, ‘Brokliniana’, ‘Brooklynana’, ‘Broockliana’. Synonym: ‘Orton Pink’. SCCS, 1945, Camellias, erroneously equates this with a variegated form of ‘Barbara Lodge’, (Marianna Gaeta)
