» English Description
Jacob Makoy Nursery Catalogue, 1842, p.10. No description. Colla, 1843, Camelliografia, p.111: Flower of many petals, irregularly disposed in several rows, rounded-ovate, emarginate in the interior, with the exterior open; the centre petals in various pleats and folds, forming an irregular tuft with stamens intermixed, similar to Pallade Maculata with which it has much affinity, except for the foliage which is a little paler and narrower. The flower is of a somewhat dark red, large and without any spots and is regular and full. Obtained by the Banker Negri of Milan in 1839. The name is inaccurate as there is no discernable odor. Abbreviation: ‘Odora’. Synonym: ‘Odorata Vera’.
