» English Description
Anonymous, 1831, Annales de la Société Horticulture de Paris, 9:47: “Camellia ‘Magniflora’ en fruit.” No description. Berlèse, 1841, Iconographie, p. facing pl.66, as ‘Mastersii’ or ‘Master’s Double Red’ or Magniflora: Cherry-red bordering, first on crimson, but later, poppy red. The petals of its circumference, imbricated in 3 rows, are notched, cordiform, convex and reflexed at the edge; those in the centre are wide, rose-shaped, small, rounded and short, some curled. Berlèse, 1837, Monographie, ed.1, p.90 as ‘Masterii’: Leaves rounded, acuminate and dark green: buds elongate with reddish scales: flower 9 cm across, full, well formed, of deep cherry-red or deep crimson; exterior petals oblong, cordiform, convex and recurved; those at the centre smaller and strap shaped, not numerous, some white marks. In this publication ‘Master’s Double Red’ was treated as a separate cultivar, but the 1841, Iconographie, pl.66, combined them as the same variety. Synonyms: ‘Mastersii’, ‘Master’s Double Red’, ‘Mesteri’, ‘Splendens’(Magniflora). Orthographic errors: ‘Marter’s Double Red’, ‘Magnaflora’, ‘Masteri’. Originated in England.
