as a “British hybrid with pale or light red flowers.” Berlèse in the three editions of his
Monographie, 1837, 1840 and 1845, had the cultivar as being originated in England by
Knight and described it as: Leaves deformed, some elliptical, a little obtuse, others lanceolate,
acute, narrow, undulate, wrinkled, irregular, sabre or scythe form, of a greyish green; buds,
pointed, scales green; flower semi-double, depressed, 6.8 cm across, rose-pink. The variation
in its foliage gave it the synonym ‘Heterophylla’ or ‘various leaved’. The name ‘Dahliaeflora’
has been invalidly applied to two other cultivars; an Italian one originated by Casoretti, which
is properly known as Ignescens and an American one raised by Seavey in California.

Dame Silvia. (C.japonica hybrid). New Zealand Camellia Bulletin, March 2002, Issue No.141, vol.XXII,
No.5, P.13, Reg. No.442. Registered by J.R. Finlay, Whangarei, New Zealand. A cross
between C.hybrid Fragrant One x C.japonica Scentasia which first flowered in 1999. The
flower, 10 cm diameter x 5 cm deep, may be variable in form, the registration offered
describing it as semi-double, whereas the samples and photos provided best fitted anemone
form. On the samples supplied, there were about 12 petals and 25 petaloids mixed with
partly-visible stamens, and a clear separation between the petal ring and the stamen/petaloid
mass. Colour is an unusual bright scarlet pink, most closely matched to RHS.CC.52A, and the
petals have a distinctive heavy texture. There is a moderate, floral, rose-like scent. The plant
is upright, and of average density and growth rate with dark green leaves 9 cm long x 5 cm
wide. Flowers mid-season to late.

Derbyana. (C.japonica), Loddiges Catalogue, 1830, p.21. No description. Harrison, 1835, Floricultural
Cabinet, vol.III, p.186 as a “British hybrid having dark red flowers”. Berlèse, 1837 and 1840,
Monographie, describe a camellia he called ‘Derbiana Vera’. In his 1841 and 1843
Iconographie he figures and describes ‘Derbiana’. It is believed they are synonymous with
Derbyana. His description as follows, matches his colour plates: Flowers 10 cm in diameter
and often more, double, deep orange-red of a brightness difficult to designate; the exterior
petals arranged in several rows, broad, a little spoon shaped, crenate at the apex; those of the
interior, narrow, rumpled, of a rose tint with a few sterile stamens in the centre. van Houtte
Catalogue, 1841, 7:6 gives as synonyms: ‘Ammanta’, ‘Angresiae’, and ‘Coloured’. The
Floricultural Cabinet, 1838, gives ‘Amanda’ as a synonym and Loddiges Catalogue, 1848
gives ‘Angrezia’, while Charles van Geert, 1845 gives ‘Clartoni’, ‘Clertonii’, ‘Clertonia’,
‘Amanda’ and ‘Derejana’. See also Mertens & Fontaine, Collection de cent
espèces.....camellia, 1845, pl. 56. There are also a number of orthographically erroneous
names such as ‘Derbiana’, ‘Derbeyana’, ‘Derbyanna’, ‘Debriana’, ‘Delbeiana’ as well as the
synonyms ‘Derbiana Vera’, ‘Debriana Vera’, ‘Derby Red’ and ‘Derbiana Red’. The situation
in America is that the synonyms ‘Lady Derby’s’ and ‘Zachary Taylor’ were used, but also
two other invalid names in ‘Cup of Beauty’ and ‘Tasse de Beauté’ both of which validly
belong to an old Chinese variety which Fortune imported to England in 1857. According to
Fendig, 1950, American Camellia Catalogue other synonyms that have been attached to
Derbyana in America are ‘Florapena’, ‘Peonyflora’, ‘New Orlean’s Red’, ‘Tassa de Beau’,
‘J.G. Peonyflora’ and ‘Derbeyiana’.

Doncklaeri. Courtois, 1833, Magasin d’Horticulture, 1 [pt.E]:159: The other is the Camellia
‘Doncklaeri’, so named after M. Doncklaer, Chief Gardener at the Botanical Garden of
Louvain who distributed it. The leaves are oval-lanceolate, pointed; the flower is broad, 12
cm across, double, spread out; petals smooth, notched, half of them have a background of
pure white, marbled with red, the other half pure red or red marbled white. This cultivar was
brought to Belgium from Japan by Franz von Siebold in 1830, together with Tricolor,
Ochroleuca and Candidissima, which were propagated and released by M. Donckelaer. It
became a most popular variety and received a number of synonyms as well as having its name
misspelt in every possible way. It was figured and described in 1834 by Morren in
L’Horticulture Belge, Journal Jardiners Amateurs, 2:63, pl.29 with the orthography
‘Donkelarii’ under the illustration and ‘Donckelarii’ in the text. This latter orthography had
been considered valid until the recent location of the 1833 listing. Considerable research was
put into endeavouring to locate an authoritative record of the correct spelling of the name.
These include: ‘Doncklaer’, Courtois, 1833; ‘Donckelaer’, his signature on letters at the
Bruxelles Library, according to C.P. Adams, RHS Journal, 1954; ‘Donkläer’, Beaton, 1849
also according to Adams and ‘Donckelaar’, Spae, 1858, Begique Horticole. Research by Marc
de Coninck, International Camellia Journal, 2005 No.37, pp.60-65, reveals that ‘Andries
Donkelaar’ was his signature on his youngest daughter Elisabeth’s birth certificate in Leuven
records. When he went from the Netherlands to Belgium in 1803, the country was part of
France. While old records called the city Leuven, the French called it Louvain, and for
reasons of pronunciation, changed the spelling of Donkelaar to Donckelaer. Since he appears
to have used both Dutch and French versions in signatures, ‘Donckelaeri’ is retained as
correct orthography. ‘Donkelaari’ would also be correct orthography if used. However this
name is, in fact, only the approved Western synonym for the name of the old Japanese
cultivar Masayoshi, which was first listed in the Tsubaki Hangata Tsuki Obo’echô, 1788 and
Shoshiki Hanagatachô, 1789. Chinese synonyms are ‘Zhengyi’ and ‘Dongkelarui’. Amongst
the many other synonyms that have been used for this cultivare are: ‘Aileen’, ‘Aleen’,
‘Middleton No.15’, ‘Winnie Davis’, ‘Mary Robertson’, ‘Camellia-T’, ‘Don Kaleare’,
‘Angustifolia’, ‘Tea Garden’, ‘Georgia’, ‘Pump House’, ‘Cantelou’, ‘English’, ‘Tallahassee’,
‘Donckelarii Middleton’, ‘Donckelarii Special’, ‘Doncklaari Eddinger’s’. ‘Donckelaeri’ has
been the origin of a number of fine sports. These include: Eugene Bolen, Ville de Nantes and
Lady Kay. These latter two, in turn producing Ville de Nantes Red and Lady Kay Red.

Dr. John H. Urabec. (C.japonica), Reiners, 1962, NCCS., 1962, The Camellia Bulletin, vol.15, No.4,
p.20: “An exhibition item which will attract best-of-show awards. The manner of plant
growth, type of foliage and degree of floriferousness would be rated neither as outstanding or
mediocre. The merit lies in the bloom, which is very large, of an anemone form...the most apt
way to describe the new flower is to say that it is C.M. Wilson on a grand scale, of somewhat
looser construction and a more deep, rich pink.”

taken for a white rose, full bodied and of the largest size. Mr Aug. Van Geert received this
variety in 1851 from Count B. Lechi, Brescia, Italy. It is thus of Italian origin. However it is
named for a French noblewoman, so the French orthography is given precedence. It is a

place name and the splitting into “De Cazes” is erroneous. Later in the same year, van Houtte,
in his Catalogue 27:19, gives Adonidea, ‘Gallesi d’Italie’ and ‘Dorusio à bords blancs’ as
synonyms. The last two are synonyms for Adonidea, which was in commerce in 1837, and it
is probable that these are all the one cultivar. The Duchesse Decazes at present listed by
