Burnier & Grilli Catalogue, 1846-1847, Flower, regular, ash white, inscribed and marbled with rose. de Jonghe, 1851, Traité de la Culture du Camellia, p.117: Beautiful pure white flower, streaked and marbled with pink. Verschaffelt, 1852, Nouvelle Iconogra­phie, Book II, pl.I as ‘Onor della Torre’: A feature of this variety is the multiplicity of the petals which are imbricated with perfect regularity and decrease in size regularly from the circumfer­ence to the centre. Of a well rounded form, emarginated at the summit, they spread out as they open, but towards the centre remain somewhat erect and concave. A beautiful pink colouring with a white, transverse stripe. It is of Italian origin and has been grown commercially for 5 or 6 years. Originated in Italy by Benucci. Orthographic variant: ‘Ortor della Torre’.
