(C.japonica), Luzzatti, 1851, Collezione di Camelie: Beautifully imbricated, rose flower
with white blotches or streaks. Verschaffelt, 1856, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book VIII, pl.II:
Mr Luzzatti sent this in 1852, its rather small, though graceful blossoms are streaked with
white. Although belonging, by the imbrication of the petals, to the class of perfections, its
flowers present a certain disorder with the petals, sometimes rounded, sometimes oval, full or
uneven. A cherry red mixed with white enhances the effect. Orthographic errors: ‘Belle de
Pisa’, ‘Bella de Pisa’, ‘Bella Pisa’. Originated in Florence, Italy.
