Waterhouse, 1952, Camellia Trail, p.28 with pl.XIX: It was found growing in Pukekura Park, New Plymouth, New Zealand and is believed to be a local seedling. It has large, informal double, white blooms, 12 cm, and more across and very large, rounded outer petals. The tall, central stamens are pure white with yellow anthers. Some stamens are trans­formed into petaloids which are surrounded by 5 or 6 tall, folded petals. Synonym: ‘Pukekura White’.
