(C.japonica), Alex Verschaffelt, 1849-1850, Catalogue, p.49 as ‘Isabella Spinosa’. No

description. Luzzatti, 1851, Collezione di Camelie, p.22: Red striped with white; beautiful,

large flower, imbricated. Verschaffelt, 1856, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book XI, pl.IV:

Received from Italy from Fr. Mariani, 3 or 4 years ago. It has a blossom, larger than medium,

formed of ample, rounded petals, slightly hooded and imbricated somewhat like those of a

Rose des Peintres. The colouring, rather similar to camellia Valerio, is of a more vivid pink,

and with more numerous streaks than the latter, having a resemblance with certain Flemish

pinks. Orthographic error: 'Isabella Spinosa'.
