Minagawa, Chinkashū, 1925, according to Ishikawa, 1966, American Camellia Yearbook, p.74 as ‘Konron-Koku’. Ishii, 1932, Genshoku Shokubutsu Zufu; Minagawa, 1933, Chinkashū; Tuyama, 1968, Camellias of Japan, pl.276, p.139, description, p.174: Leaves narrowly ovate-elliptic, long acuminate apex, margins remotely crenate. Flowers rose form double to peony form, 9-10 cm across, dark red. (Cardinal Red 822) Petals round, incurved, 11-25, slightly emarginate. Opens with a large bud centre which, when fully mature, opens into a loose ball-shaped centre with a few short stamens. Flowers mid-season to late. This variety has been known interchangeably as Konronkoku and ‘Konronkuro’ which are different readings of the same characters. However as the first transliteration published was Konronkoku in Chūgai Nursery Co. Catalogue, 1935-1936, p.25, this has been accepted as the prior valid name. There is also a C.sasanqua of the same name. Corruptions of the Japanese name include: ‘Kouronguro’, ‘Konrun Koku’, ‘Kuron-juro’, ‘Kuron Jura’, ‘Konron Joura’, ‘Koron Juro’, ‘Kouron-Jura’, ‘Kurun Jura’, ‘Kunrun Jura’. Synonyms: ‘Black Prince’, ‘Nigra’, ‘Black Boy’.
