Description

» English Description

Chinka Zufu, (before 1700), Watanabe, 1969, pl.278; Sakuden, 1630, Hyakuchinshū, together with 'Yamato-sangai', as popular names for his 'Iroteruyama'. However in the Chinka Zufu illustrations, 'Ise-tsubaki' and 'Yamato-sangai' are completely dif­ferent and neither resemble the modern Ise-tsubaki. If the Chinka Zufu illustration is taken as the type, it is an anemone form with 5 outer petals of dark crimson surrounding a compact, petaloid centre of the same colour with some stamens intermixed. Originated in Japan. Chen's Hiden Kakyo, date unknown (1672-1900) gives 'Renge-tsubaki' as a synonym for 'Ise-tsubaki' which has the Chinese name of 'Shiliu Cha'. Synonym: 'Sekiryu-cha', according to the Honzō Kōmoku Keimō. For this see Yashiro, 1841, Kokon Yōrankō, vol.306 and JCS., 1981, Tsubaki, No.20, p.l03. All are now believed to be extinct.
