» English Description
Cachet Catalogue, 1840-1841, p.2. Striped. Van Houtte Catalogue, 1841, 7:19: Imbricated, white with a yellowish streak extending down each petal from the centre to the circumference. Verschaffelt, 1848, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book IX, pl.II: Originated by Mr. Negri, Milan, Italy, this interesting camellia has been found in collections for several years. It is sometimes met under the name of ‘Belle-Irene’. The name is derived from the latin sulco = a groove and expresses the greenish line found in the middle of the border. The deep green leaves are oval, oblique, 4-5 cm wide x 7-8 cm long, acuminate with regular serrations. The bud is large, round with greenish scales; the blossoms, 10 cm across, are full, anemone form, with numerous white petals, oval, rounded, emarginate and regularly imbricated from the centre to the circumference. Verschaffelt in 1852 again figured and described this cultivar under name ‘Belle Irene’, Book IV, pl.III. Van Houtte separately listed both names in 1841 in his No.9 catalogue, but Sulcata has priority. Synonyms: ‘Alba Viridis’, ‘Sulcata Alba’, ‘Bell’ Irene’, ‘Bella Irene’, ‘Belle Irene’.
