(C.japonica), Floricultural Cabinet, vol.III, 1835, p.118 as. C.j. ‘Campbelli’ ‘Campbell’s
Hybrid’ a seedling from ‘Middlemist’s Blush’. The flowers are very large, of a fine white,
striped and spotted pale red. Rousseau, 1842-1843, Catalogue: White base striped rose.
Originated by Walter Fredrick Campbell, MP., Woodhall, Lanarkshire, UK. Orthographic
errors: ‘Campbellia’, ‘Cambellii’.
Campbellii. Gerbing’s Azalea Gardens Catalogue, 1938-1937. Pseudonym, as ‘Campbelli’, for
Margherita Coleoni and ‘Tokayama’.
Campbellii (France). The Pacific Camellia Society, 1946, Camellia Nomenclature, p.7: Synonym
for Campbellii (Guichard). This is given as coming from Guichard, France but does not
match the description in the Guichard Catalogues which, in 1984, still list ‘Campbelli’ as
“Fleur, semidouble, rouge”. McIlhenny listed this cultivar as ‘Dobreel’ in 1935 and Overlook
Nurseries gave it as a synonym for ‘Dobreel’ in 1954, but as this is an orthographic error for
Dorbrielle it is rejected as a prior valid name for the cultivar.
