Description

» English Description

Jean Verschaffelt, 1862, Supplement for Price List, 1861-1862, p.2: New introduction raised from seed in Belgium. The flowers are displayed in great numbers at the end of each shoot. They are large, snow-white, with the centre and base of each flower showing a tint of honey yellow. The petals are rounded, hooded, slightly emarginated and becoming lanceolate and mucronate towards the centre. Those at the centre are finely and elegantly fringed. The elliptical leaves are divided into acutely pointed lobes. Two camellias described the same year were given the same name. However Fortune’s camellia ‘Quercifolia’ has the prior Japanese name of Kingyo-tsubaki, so Quercifolia is let stand as the valid name for the Verschaffelt camellia.
