» English Description
Loddiges Catalogue, 1836, p.24 as ‘Conspicua’. No description. Jacob Makoy Nursery Catalogue, 1838 as Conspicua de Loddiges. No description. Buist, 1839, Camellias, p.5 as ‘Conspicua’ (Loddiges); Buist, 1845, The American Flower Garden Directory, 3rd ed., p.217: A shrub of strong handsome growth with large dark green foliage. Flowers, very double 12.5 cm across; bright orange red, hemispherical shaped, petals erect and appear as if 3 or 4 flowers are united. Berlèse, 1843, Iconographie, vol.3, pl.218 as ‘Russelliana’, Conspicua de Loddiges or ‘Lepida Nova’: The flower is 12 cm across, an irregular, incomplete double of scarlet red, margins pale pink, sometimes with white patches. The exterior petals, 6 cm long by 5 cm broad, are thick and rounded, lightly notched, veined blood red, few in number, displayed horizontally cup-like, the others a little upright; those of the interior are few, of average form, upright with soft pink margins. According to van Houtte Catalogue, 1844-1845, 18:14, synonyms are: ‘Beck’s Conspicua’, ‘Macrantha Latifolia’, ‘Latifolia Macrantha’, ‘Russelliana’, and ‘Imperatrix’ while Berlèse adds ‘Lepida Nova’, however ‘Beck’s Conspicua’, as described by Berlèse, 1840, Monographie, p.110, seems sufficiently different to be regarded as a separate variety and ‘Latifolia Macrantha’ is a synonym for ‘Latifolia Vera’. Orthographic variants; ‘Conspicua’(Loddiges), ‘Conspicua Loddigessii’.
