(C.japonica), van Houtte Catalogue, 1858, 72:15, as 'Tramonto', (See 'Tramonto',

v.H.72:25): Brilliant red, paler at centre, imbricated, under 'Tramonto'. After this date van

Houtte dropped this variety from his list until 1868 when he reinstated it under Il Tramonto

(The Setting Sun) with what appears to be a variegated form, and continued the name for several

years with no further reference to 'Tramonto'. The description in his 1868 catalogue is: -

Magnificent large flowers of most beautiful rose, perfectly and regularly imbricated and

embellished with a white stripe on each petal; when petals are not half white and half rose, or

with large white blotches similar to those of 'Donckelaeri' (Masayoshi) from which Il Tramonto

derives. From the exceptional imbrication, one does not suggest this origin, its foliage

is more handsome and larger them 'Donckelaeri'. Il Tramonto, imbricated almost as far as the

centre, has 14-15 rows of petals. In America the name was erroneously used for Lalla Rookh

('Lallarook'), and L'Avvenire ('Laurel Leaf') and Brassenie. It was originated in Italy by

Lechi, Brescia. Orthographic errors: 'Il Tramanto', 'I1 Tramento', 'Il Tramont', 'Il Tramonte', 'Il
