Description

» English Description

Verschaffelt, 1852, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book VI, pl.I: This new Camel­lia was obtained from seed by Mr Lecomte, Nancy, France. It is distinguished from other vari­eties by its size, outspread and convex with a slightly depressed centre, forming a heart. The petals are numerous, rounded, somewhat bilobate, of a bright, cherry rose. It passes, without fading, to a violet-purple like Arciduchessa Augusta. It was named for the Comte Antoine, General Drouot, 1774-1847. Orthographic errors: ‘General Drouat’, ‘General Drouet’, ‘General Drounot’, ‘General Drout’, ‘General Druot’, ‘General Dru’.
