Ashizawa, Yagorō, 1898, Chabaika Taishū; Nihon Shubyō Co. Catalogue, 1910; Chūgai Nursery Catalogue, 1938, describes it as: ‘White with scarlet variegation, full double, large flower’ and Wada, 1941, Garden Treasures of Japan, as ‘Intense red, large, semi-double’. The first was designated ‘Shiundai (2)’ and the second ‘Shiundai (1)’ by Fendig in American Camellia Catalogue, 1953. However there is considered to be only one cultivar as follows: Large, rose-pink, single, with 7-8 petals, outer edges tinted deeper with violet, the inner parts a lighter pink. Stamen cluster small, spreading, filaments light yellow, anthers small and yellow. Leaves mid-green, oval, 7.5 cm x 3.8 cm, apex acute, recurved. Originated in Japan.
