Casilda  SCCS., 1947, The Camellia. Its Culture and Nomenclature, Bright flame pink. Large single. Slow, compact growth. Flowers mid-season to late. It has red stamens and irregular fluted and twisted petals. There is also a variegated form. This cultivar bears no relationship to Verschef­felt’s Casilda and was given this name in America where it is still in use. However it was renamed Flaming Star by McCaskill in 1950 and this must be regarded as its valid name. Orthographic error: ‘Casilla’. Synonym: ‘Casilda (1)’.

Casilda (1)  Fendig, 1953, American Camellia Catalogue. Synonym for Flaming Star as ‘Casilda’.
