Description

» English Description

Sweet, 1830, Hortus Britannicus, ed.2, p.74: “Rose coloured. Large double”. Berlèse, 1837, Monographie, ed. l, pp.37, 76, 128, describes it as “Vigorous shrub; leaves large, 11 cm x 8.5cm, ovate-lanceolate, slightly acuminate, firm, thick, deeply serrate, of a dull green; buds oval, obtuse, as large as pigeons eggs, scales green; flower, 11 cm across, double, of a pale red to rose, exterior petals numerous in three rows; those at the centre, short, in a rosette, whitish, intermingled with stamens.” The present SCCS. Camellia Nomenclature description is: Red marbled white. Very large semi-double to rose form double to peony form. Vigorous, upright, open growth. The Sweet and Berlèse descriptions show that the cultivar was originally self coloured, the white blotching occuring later, probably due to virus infection. See colour plates: Macoboy, 1981, The Colour Dictionary of Camellias, p.89 and the RHS., 1961, The Rhododendron and Camellia Yearbook, No.15, pl.7 as ‘Kelvingtoniana’ under which name the RHS awarded it an F.C.C. in 1869. Hume in his Camellias of America, 1946, facing p.160 as ‘Kellingtonia’. The many synonyms include: ‘Emperor Wilhelm’, ‘Emperor Frederick Wilhelm’, ‘Magnolia King’, ‘Mary Bell Glennan’, ‘Fanny Davenport’, ‘Kellvingtonia’, ‘Kilvingtoniana’, ‘Kelvingtoniana’, ‘Jolly Roger’ ‘Kellingtonia’, ‘Kellingtonia’(France) ‘Gigantea d’America’, ‘Gigantea Special’, ‘Gigantea d’Amerique’, ‘Long’s No.351’. Also the following names have been used erroneously as synonyms: ‘Anne Lindbergh’, ‘Firebird’, ‘Gaiety’, ‘Monstruosa Rubra’. According to Berlèse, 1840, Monographie the variety is of English origin. As the name Gigantea is firmly established on a world wide basis for the variegated form, this is let stand and the solid colour form is designated Gigantea Red. As the variegation is unstable, the various names given to certain patterns of variegations cannot be accepted as applying to different forms and are all reduced to synonyms of Gigantea.
