Nagoya Camellia Society Bulletin, 1992, No.25, p.17, colour photo No.60: Originated by Kōji Funakoshi, Nagoya, Japan. A seedling of the cross C.japonica Yobukodori x C.trichoclada that first flowered at six years of age. The flower size is 4 cm across, neatly shaped, miniature single of 4-5 petals. Shaped like a plum blossom with notched pink petals, with a vague white margin. Intense fragrance inherited from C.trichoclada. Leaves like C.trichoclada but larger. Branchlets, buds and leaf midribs covered with fine hair. Vigorous and profuse flowering. Its name comes from the combination of Nippon and Taiwan due to its origin of a Japanese camellia pollinated by one from Taiwan.
