Description

» English Description

Yokohama Nursery Co. Ltd. Catalogue, 1895: Double, white ball. Note: This appears to be the origin of Shiratama as it is known in the West. According to SCCS., 1950. The Camellia. Its Culture and Nomenclature, p.60 as ‘Shirotama’ its description is: White. Medium sized, rose form to formal double. Vigorous, open, upright, growth. Midseason blooming. However, in Japan ‘Shiratama’ is a white single, never double. Synonyms: ‘Egret’, ‘Hearn’s Egret’, ‘Abundance’, ‘Senyōhaku’. Yashiro, 1841, Kokon Yōrankō cites Honzō Kōmoku Keimō 1803 as giving Senyōhaku as a synonym. Different readings: ‘Shirotama’, ‘Tamashiro’. See p.327, Hertrich, 1954, Camellias in the Huntington Gardens, vol.I.
