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.
