» English Description
Three cultivars of this name were distributed in Europe; one proved a synonym for General Lafayette, another was named Carolina Smith d’Amerique. The third is as follows: Geldorf, Const., 1844, Catalogue of Plants and Price List, p.5: Six or seven rows of bright, cerise pink petals and the centre variegated like a Flemish carnation (red stripes). Berlèse, 1845, ‘Monographie’, ed.3, p.207: Flower, full ranunculus form (Formal double), 9-10 cm across, sometimes more, intense cherry red around the circumference, bright rose intermediately and light rose in the centre, regularly imbricated to the centre; the centre petals are marked with dark red stripes. The corolla appears like a number of flowers superimposed. Orthographic variants: ‘Caroline Schmidt’, ‘Caroline Schmitt’, ‘Caroline (Smith)’, ‘Carolina Smith’, ‘Caroline Smith’s’. Abbreviations: ‘Carolina’. ‘Caroline’, ‘Caroline Smith’s’.
Nouvelle Iconographie des Camellias, 1853: “Like the General Lafayette Camellia, this Camellia was obtained by Mr. Boll, of United States, and put on the market a few years ago. Every spring, too, it blooms with as much ease as abundance, and thus certain of its beauty and constancy, we have decided to include it in this monograph. Its flowers, above the medium size, are of a beautiful convex shape, and are composed of very numerous petals admirably well imbricated, of a beautiful pink color, veined longitudinally with darker one. They have two distinct forms up to the center, all those of the first and intermediate rows are rounded-indented and larger of a uniform color; in the center, they are lanceolate, smaller and crossed by a white band. It‘s in the strict sense of the word, a beautiful and good Camellia.“
