Description

» English Description

Cachet Catalogue, 1840-1841, p.3. No description. van Houtte Catalogue, 1841, 7:11: Very full peony form. Illustrated and described, Fendig, 1949, American Camellia Cata­logue: Large carmine, (Camellia Rose 622 & 622/1) splashed with white, 11 cm across x 5.5 cm deep. Outer petals, 5.5 cm long in two rows. Inner petals of crepe texture, are erect and undu­late with stamens intermixed. Leaves dark green, 8 cm x 5 cm, leathery, serrations fairly coarse, apex broad-pointed, pronounced venation. Plant habit is spreading with medium growth rate. Listed by Guichard Soeurs from 1894 on and was imported to USA by McIlhenny 1934. Although the original scant description does not mention white marks, all the later listing describe white variegation in various proportions from “scant white marbling” to “predomi­nantly white”. Evidently the cultivar became virus variegated at an early stage and the varie­gated form retains the original name. Synonyms: ‘Kenny Glen’, ‘Kenny Variegated’. Pseudonym: ‘Leviathan’. Chinese synonym ‘Kenni’.
