Description

» English Description

Minagawa, 1933, Chinkashū: White. Early to mid-season blooming. Belongs to the Shiratama group. Tuyama, 1968, Camellias of Japan, pl.15, p.8, description, p.89: Leaves thick, deep green, roundish-elliptic, broadly ovate, shortly caudate, prominent venation, sharply serrate. Flowers single, pure white, widely opening; petals 5-6, waved and reflexed at the margins, compact stamen column, joined for lower third; anthers yellow. A famous cultivar in the Kansai district of Japan. Very old trees are found around Ikeda City, Ōsaka Prefecture. Described as ‘Kakuba-shiratama’ by Minagawa, 1933; however Rōgetsu is an older name in the Kansai district. ‘Rō’ = waxing and ‘getsu’ = month, in this case December of the lunar calender, alluding to the early flowering of this cultivar. For colour photos & descriptions see: Tuyama, 1966, Camellia Cultivars of Japan, pl.49, p.90 & p.303; Encyclopedia of Camellias in Colour, vol.I, 1972, pl.82, p.63; Seibundō Shinkōsha, 1980, Senchinshū, pp.163, 257; Andoh, 1971, Tsubaki, Meika no Shōkai to Saibai, pl.33, p.12 as ‘Rohgetsu’. Yokoyama & Kirino, 1989, Nihon no Chinka, pp.48, 49. Synonyms: ‘Bonshiratama’ in the Chūbu area and ‘Shirorōgetsu’, ‘Kakuba-shiratama’. Parent of: Shibori-rōgetsu, Aka-rōgetsu. SCCS., Camellia Nomenclature gives ‘Oborozuki’ and ‘Seiganji’ as synonyms. While ‘Oborozuki’ is a different reading of the characters for Rōgetsu, the first character ‘Rō’ = ‘oboro’ is different and translates as ‘hazy’. Oborozuki means ‘Hazy Moon’ and is actually a different cultivar to Rōgetsu; both being listed separately by Satomi, 1956. It is also the name of an ancient variety listed in Sakuden’s Hyakuchinshū, 1630. Seiganji is also a different cultivar being a white with red spots, double camellia listed by Mizuno, 1681, Kadan Kōmoku. Corruption of the name: ‘Roget’s White’. Different reading: ‘Rohgetsu’, ‘Rowgetsu’.
