(C.japonica), Chandler and Buckingham, 1825, Camellia Britannica, pl.3: The size of the

bloom, the delicate pencilling of the petals, with the singular boldness of the anthers, render

this a beautiful specimen of a single flower, and its tendency to produce seed far exceeds any

other camellia we are acquainted with. Dedicated to William Aiton of Kew. The illustration

shows a single of 6 petals, colour red. Grown from the seed of the Pompone by Alfred

Chandler, Vauxhall, England in 1819. See Baumann & Baumann, 1829, Collection de

camellias élevés à Bollwieler. pl.3. Orthographic errors: ‘Aitona’, ‘Aitoni’, ‘Aitonii’,
