The International Camellia Register had more than 50,000 names, very difficult to manage. It is always open to amendments and corrections, as errors and omissions will always exist in such a comprehensive long list of names, no matter how carefully checked, and in view of further data coming to light from previously unlocated literature and catalogues.
It is a big challenge for me to manage all those cultivars in the genus Camellia, So I need your helps, especially those by various origins in different countries. I will do my best to let the Nomenclature as accuracy and stable as I can. Prof. Guan Kaiyuan, the president of ICS, had written a Chinese Motto to encourage me as follows in very Chinese way:
These 8 words were from two very old Chinese books date back more than 2,500 year ago. It is very hard to translate precisely, but I would like to try to translate the meanin in short as “Never cease in pursuing excellence, until achieve perfection.” This has become my motto to do this database. I will try my best!
