Tuyama, 1966, Camellia Cultivars of Japan, p.162; Tuyama, 1968, Camellias of Japan, pl.113, p.57, description, p.120; Satō, 1975, Chūbu no Tsubaki, p.74 as ‘Tsukimi-guruma’: Leaves elliptic to broad-elliptic, with rather longer glabrous petioles. Flowers of Higo camellia type, petals broad, rounded at the apex and wrinkled at the margin, light pink with fine dots in deeper pink that is distributed more densely towards the margin. Staminal tube low and broad with stamens a little scattered. Late flowering.
