Description

» English Description

Gunnell, 1841, Magazine of Horticulture, 7:339: A double white one ... pro­pose to call Mrs Gunnell or ‘Gunnellae’ so as to distinguish it from the white camellia raised in Germany by a Mr Gunnell which he calls ‘Gunnellii’. Mrs Gunnell is a seedling of the old striped or Pompone; its foliage is smooth and glossy and larger than that of Variegata, though like it, a free grower; its buds, petals and flowers are the shape of ‘Imbricata’, but the flower is pure white and double to the centre, having 90 petals with rose shaped edge. Origi­nated by Gunnell, Washington, D.C., USA. Orthographic errors: ‘Mistriss Gimble’, ‘Miss Gun­nell’, ‘Mrs Gunnel’. Orthographic variant; ‘Mistriss Gunnell’. Synonyms: ‘Gunnellae’, ‘Mrs Gunnellii’.
