Albicans van Houtte Catalogue, 1841, 7:14, gives ‘Albicans’ as a synonym for ‘Myrtifolia Alba’; whereas Verschaffelt, 1850, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book XII, pl.II, says that it was also known as ‘Myrtifolia Albicans’ and was raised by the Rev. Herbert; then van Houtte 1857 gives Herbert’s Circe as the prior valid name. As ‘Circe’ was published on p.367 of Amaryllidaceae & Supplement in 1837, this gives ‘Circe’ as the valid name over ‘Albicans’. Van Geert, 1846 has: Said to be imported from China by Chandler.

Constellation Wilmot, 1943, Camellia Variety Classification Report, p.10. No description. Magnolia Gardens and Nursery Catalogue, 1944-1945: Another old original which is quite unknown due to the difficulty of its propagation. Early blooming, medium sized, imbricated, deep pink fading to blush in centre. Many flowers tiered forming a 6 pointed star. All petals of its 10 rows are incurved. Believed to be synonymous with Myrtifolia.

Esangularis van Houtte Catalogue, 1858, 72:15. Orthographic error for ‘Hexangularis’.

Exangularis Rubra Burdin Maggiore & Co. Catalogue, 1856-1857. Orthographic variant for ‘Hexangularis Rubra’, synonym for Myrtifolia.

Curtis’s Botanical Magazine, 1814, vol.40, No.1670; Aiton’s Hortus Kewensis, 1812, vol.4, p.235 as ‘Myrtle Leaved Red’; Parmentier, 1818, Catalogue des arbres et plantes ... p.15. No description. Chandler & Booth, 1831, Illustrations & Descriptions... pl.14: Flowers rarely less than 7.5 cm across. On first opening they are a deep rose colour, but become paler. The flowers are numerous and regularly arranged, forming an even, compact flower, faintly veined red. The exterior petals are of roundish form, darker in colour than the interior ones. They are about 2.5 cm broad and become recurved as the flower has been open for some time. The interior petals are much smaller and pointed, of a pale rose colour; at first erect, concave and closely set; they afterwards expand almost flat and leave a little hollow place in the middle which is often hidden by small, narrow, irregularly formed petals, with a yellowish tip having the appearance of stamens. Scented. Early illustrations include: Chandler & Booth, 1831, Illustrations & Descriptions.---pl.14. Berlèse, 1843, Iconographie, vol.2, pl.199. Edwards Botanical Register, 1815, Vol.I, pl.22. Loddige’s Botanical Cabinet, 1819, vol.IV, pl.354. This variety was originally imported from China by Kew Gardens and was brought in by Greville in 1806. Early synonyms were: ‘Myrtifolia Plena’, ‘Myrtifolia Odorata’, ‘Hexangularis’, ‘Pendulata’, ‘Myrtifolia Pendula’, ‘Myrtifolia Rosea’, ‘Involuta’, ‘Starry Flowered’, ‘Myrtifolia Chinenza’. It was also called variously: ‘Myrtle Leaved’, ‘Myrtle-leaved Red’, ‘Large Myrtle-leaves’, ‘Small Myrtle-leaved’, ‘Large flowering Myrtle-leaved’, ‘Myrtifolia Flore Plena’, ‘Myrtifolia Major’ and ‘Constellation’. Orthographic errors: ‘Myrthifolia’, ‘Myrthyfolia’, ‘Myrthiflora’, ‘Myrtifolie’, ‘Myrthyfolia’. The old Chinese name is believed to be ‘Liujiao Dahong’. In Australia the deep pink sport of Madame de Cannart d’Hamale was erroneously known as ‘Myrtifolia’, until renamed Myrtifolia (Australia). In Portugal it is called ‘Myrtifolia Chinesa’. In other countries Cup of Beauty has been mislabeled as Myrtifolia.
