Baota Shao, Taichong, 1992, The Observations from the Camellia World, No.339, p.77. Chinese synonym for Chinese C.reticulata Songzilin (‘Pagoda’).

Dobrada Loureiro Catalogue No.9, 1872-1873. Synonym for Reticulata Flore Pleno, ‘Robert Fortune’.

Flore Pleno Henderson ed., 1857, The Floricultural Cabinet, for the formal double form of C.reticulata brought to England by the plant hunter Robert Fortune. However, as the name ‘Flore Pleno’ had also been applied to ‘Maliflora’ by Sweet, 1830, (C.maliflora) and also to a C.japonica, it is rejected as invalid for this cultivar. It has been renamed ‘Robert Fortune’ in 1954 and is identical to the Chinese Songzilin and the American ‘Pagoda’.

» English Description

Fang, 1930, Diannan Chahua Xioazhi: The colour is light red and the petals are like a pine cone opening its scales. Feng et al., 1986, Yunnan Camellias of China, p.83, colour photo and description: Leaves flat, nearly ovate or orbicular, margins revolute, apices obtusely rounded or acute, bases long-cuneate or obtusely rounded, 6-8 cm long x 3.6-4.8 cm, wide. Flowers deep pink (RHS.CC.53D), diameter, 10-13 cm. Petals about 48 in 9-10 whorls, obovate, becoming gradually smaller from outer to inner whorls. Stamens mostly petaloid, very few remaining rudimentary. Pistil rudimentary, flattened. This is a fully double cultivar with flat, dense petals which are easily deciduous and resemble the scales of a pine cone when first open, hence the name. Blooms mid-season. There was an old tree of this cultivar at the Taihua Temple in the Western Hills of Kunming. It was said to have been planted by Jianwen, an Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The tree died in 1962. Another tree at the Panglong temple of Jinning County has a height of more than 10 meters and a diameter of 52 cm. This tree was planted in the Yuan Dynasty, (1347). Synonyms: ‘Robert Fortune’, ‘Pagoda’, ‘Pine Cone’, ‘Pine Cone Scales’, ‘Flore-Plena’, ‘Dobrada’. Probably first reached England in 1824 as part of a collection of plants by Parks in 1824. Also imported by Robert Fortune in 1844 as ‘Reticulata Flore Pleno’. Different readings: ‘Sungtzelin’, ‘Sung-tzu-lin’. See colour photos: American Camellia Yearbook, 1956, facing p.114; Front cover, New Zealand Camellia Bulletin, 1965, vol.IV, No.4 as ‘Pagoda’. Received an RHS First Class Certificate in 1865 as ‘Reticulata Flore Pleno’.
