Description

» English Description

Kasuya, Kamegorō, 1859, Tsubaki Irohanayose Irotsuki lists this as one of the 3 spouses with Hanamiguruma, Tsukimi-guruma and Beniguruma. Itō, Ko’emon, 1879, Chinkashū: Large, white, single. Tuyama, 1966, Camellia Cultivars of Japan, pl.54, p.100; Tuyama, 1968, Camellias of Japan, pl.23, p.12, description, p.91, 92 as ‘Yuki­mi-guruma - Tokyo’: Bush camellia of upright growth with coarse, thick branches. Leaves broadly elliptic, cuspidate acute at the apex. deep green, plicated along the midrib, veinlets often impressed. Petioles glabrous. Flowers pure white with 7-8 petals expanded horizontally and strongly wavy for the whole margins. Staminal tube expanded but anthers are not scat­tered. Guruma is a variant reading of kuruma = wheel and is often attributed to camellias with widely expanded corolla and wide staminal tube. The stamen cluster is a flaring cup-shape of about 120 stamens, filaments light yellow, anthers golden. This cultivar was imported from Japan to America by Domoto in 1932 and erroneously named ‘Amabilis’. Synonyms given include ‘Mrs Francis Sanders’, ‘White Poppy’, ‘Subije’. In the UK it was erroneously known as ‘White Swan’, a name used by McIlhenny, Louisiana, for a different cultivar. In England the names ‘Devonia’ and ‘Alba Simplex’ have also been erroneously equated with Yukimigu­ruma. For colour photos see: Encyclopedia of Camellias in Colour, vol.I, 1972, pl.96 & p.305; Andoh, 1971, Tsubaki, Meika no Shōkai to Saibai, pl.65; Seibundō Shinkōsha, 1980, Senchinshū, pp.158, 255; Yokoyama & Kirino, 1989, Nihon no Chinka, p.60. It resembles Shōwa-no-homare. Synonym in Japan: ‘Yukimi-guruma - Tokyo’. Corruption of name: ‘Yukimi Jurima’. See: JCS, 1969, Tsubaki, No.7, pp.30, 35.
