(C.japonica), Chandler & Buckingham, 1825, Camellia Britannica, pl.5, p.13; Chandler &

Booth, 1831, Illustrations and Descriptions of Camellia... pl.10: The flowers are very

attractive being of deep crimson and upwards of 10 cm in diameter. The petals are of one size

and form’ from 12-16 in number and arranged in two rows. They are roundish cordate, about

2.5 cm broad, rather deeply divided at their extremity and taper to a narrow, thick base. The

centre petals are numerous and of the same red colour as the outer petals, but half their length

and rise upright in the centre in a dense mass about 2.5 cm across. Each has the same white tip

peculiar to the centre petals of the Waratah, (Anemoniflora); those on the outside are wedge

shaped, slightly incurved and shorter than those in the centre, the latter being often striped

with white and irregular in form. Raised from seed by Chandler, England in 1819.
