For colour photos see: Andoh, 1971, Tsubaki, Meika no Shōkai to Saibai, pl.63, p.23; Encycloptlia of Camellias in Colour, vol.I, 1972, pl.41, p.297; Seibundō Shinkōsha, 1979, Senchinshū, p.91 as ‘Tarōan’(Engei). Different readings: ‘Tarohan’, ‘Taroan’. In England, Sunningdale Nurseries Catalogue, 1968-1969. p.10 reported that, due to propagation from stock survival material from import ‘Tarō’an’, the Japanese Higo Kumagai was erroneously released in England under the name Tarō’an for some years. Nowadays, to avoid confusion, the synonyms ‘Tarō’an’(Engei) or ‘Engei-Tarō’an’ are used in Japan.
