Description

» English Description

van Houtte Catalogue, 1858, 72:9: Pale pink with deeper veins, all the petals edged white; imbricated. Verschaffelt, 1858, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book II, pl.I as ‘Comtesse Woronzoff’, but as the variety originates in Italy, the Italian orthography is given priority: Blossoms of nearly the largest size, composed of ample petals, perfectly imbricated and outspread, of a soft, virginal pink, veined with carmine. Leaves large. This camellia is a sport of Il Cigno, and itself sports to ‘Lavandel’. It is said to have been originated by Bouturlin, Italy, according to Mercatelli, 1881. Orthographic variants: ‘Comtesse Woronzoff’, ‘Contessa Voronzoff’. Orthographic error: ‘Contessa Woronzow’.
