» English Description
Shirai-Bunko, 1789, Shoshiki Hanagatachō: Leaves divided to three at the apices, like the tail of a goldfish. (see Kyōto Engei Kurabu, Tsubaki Tokushū, 1964, No.5, p.81). Itō, Ko’emon, 1879, Chinkashū: Rose red, single. This Camellia has leaves with multi-apices, giving the appearance of a goldfish tail. ‘Kingyoba’, (Goldfish Leaved) and ‘Kingyoba-tsubaki’ (Goldfish leaved Camellia) are synonyms that are used in Japan. For colour plates see: Tuyama, 1966, Camellia Cultivars of Japan, pl.215; Tuyama, 1968, Camellias of Japan, pl.108 as ‘Kingyoba’; Andoh, 1971, Tsubaki, Meika no Shōkai to Saibai, pl.118; Encyclopedia of Camellias in Colour, vol.I, 1972, pl.438 and Satō, 1975, Chūbu no Tsubaki, p.105 as ‘Kingyoba-tsubaki’; Yoyoyama & Kirino, 1989, Nihon no Chinka, p.143, as ‘Kingyoba-tsubaki’: It is a light red (Spinel pink 0625/1) flowered, single cultivar, of 7 petals and a substantial, central stamen column with pale yellow anthers, and with leaves having 3-5 apices. Leaves are a strong, glossy green, oblong, midrib divided towards the apex. The flower opens wide, with some apical recurving of petals. As the variety sets seed which produce a proportion of plants with leaves having multi-apices, there are a number of seedlings growing under one or other of its many synonyms. Western synonyms include: ‘Kalanchoe’, ‘Apucaeformis’, ‘Trifida’, ‘Fishtail’, ‘Basedon’, ‘Kingyo-tsubaki’(Australia) Quercifolia’. The Chinese name is ‘Lieye Chahua’. In the USA the semi-double cultivar Mermaid has erroneously usurped the name of the single form. See description in SCCS, Camellia Nomenclature, 1981, p.89. Corruption of the Japanese name:, ‘Kingyo Toubaki’, ‘Kinyo-tsubaki’, ‘Kiugyo-subaki’, ‘Kino-tsubaki’. In Mizuno, 1829, Sōmoku Kinyōshū, there are 4 kinds of fishtail camellias listed. These are: Eiji-kingyo-kifu, Kitazawa-kingyo, Kubota-de-kingyo-aochafu and Kyūbei-sarasa- kingyo. Chinese synonym ‘Jinyuye Chun’. Note by Armando de Castro Oliveira: From Austrian publication Wiener Illusttrirte Garten-Zeitunga,1886, abril, von Fernsee, Heinrich Ritter Warwa; Fr. Abel & Eilfter Jahrgang,p.162-163, we learn that Kyngio-tsubaki entered Europe in January 1894, imported from Japan by the German physician and naturalist Philipp Franz von Siebold.
