Corallina (Baumann)

Burett, ed., 1837, Magazine of Botany and Gardening, vol.3, p.152: Besides Chandler’s Corallina, another is listed from Baumann, Bollwieler - ‘This camellia is in no way inferior to the English Corallina; the colour of the flowers is, however, different, this being a bright rose. The guard petals are in 2-3 rows and bell-shaped, the inner ones are smaller and irregular, forming a loose cone at the centre. It is a free growing variety and an abundant bloomer.’
