Description

» English Description

Fang, 1930, Diannan Chahua Xiaozhi: The colour is purplish, and the flowers are as large as peonies. Feng et al., 1981, Yunnan Shancha Hua, pl.88, p.53. descrip­tion, p.122, 123: Leaves thick, broad-ovate or oblong-ovate, margins revolute, apices acute or acuminate and recurved, bases broad-cuneate, 8.3-9 cm long x 4-5.5 cm wide. Flowers purplish red (RHS.CC.53A-B), diameter 12-14 cm, occasionally to 16 cm fully expanded. Petals about 46 in 6-8 whorls, becoming gradually smaller from outer to inner whorl, a few inner petals folded and erect. Stamens mostly petaloid, rudimentary, pistil rudimentary. This has the deepest colour among the Yunnan Camellias. If the central petals have white stripes it is called ‘Zipao-­yudai’ which is “Purple Gown with Jade Stripes”. However this is not a stable form and the name is reduced to synonymity. A more stable variegated form is known as Manao Zipao. Synonyms: ‘Purple Gown’. ‘Zipao Yudai’, ‘Zipao Jindai’. Different readings; ‘Tsu-p’ao’, ‘Tsepao’ ‘Tzepao’. Received a RHS., Award of Merit, 1966 as ‘Tzepao’.
