Description

» English Description

Verschaffelt, 1851, Nouvelle Iconographie, book XII, pl.III: This pretty camellia, of Italian origin, belongs to the class of perfections, and is conspicuous for its white blooms with a pale yellow tint at the centre and a rare pink mark, and for its numerous, small, rounded or oblong petals, spread out at the circumference and upright at the centre. In America, the Por­tuguese variety ‘Don Pedro V’ (Dom Pedro V, Rei de Portugal) has long been known, erro­neously, as ‘Elisabeth’ or ‘Elizabeth’, and both Teutonia and Montironi have also been confused with this camellia. However they are all separate and distinct cultivars. Montironi is a seedling raised by Casoretti in Italy and Teutonia is a German seedling of Gruneburg first listed by both van Houtte and Berlèse in 1843. Other synonyms listed are ‘Teutonia White’, ‘Trios Marie’ and ‘Victoria and Albert’. This latter is actually a synonym for Teutonia. Ortho­graphic variants: ‘Elizabeth’,’Elisabetta’.
