Description

» English Description

Fruitland Nursery Catalogue, 1945. Thought to have originated as a corrup­tion of the Japanese name ‘Tōkayama’ erroneously listed by McIlhenny from 1935 for a red, for­mal double which proved a pseudonym for Margherita Coleoni. However the variety listed by Fruitlands was a medium sized, red, single, also described in the SCCS., 1950, The Camellia. Its Culture and Nomenclature. Marchants, Keepers Hill Nursery, England list it in their 1956 catalogue as ‘Crimson with bowl shaped crown of red, yellow tipped stamens’.
