Area 3B – Notes.

Most of the plants for which I don’t have photographs in this area are new additions from 2015 which have not started to flower yet. Additionally, the area is under very large trees so in summer it is very shady and likely to get very dry, neither conducive to a good flower display.

‘Lady Clare’ is a synonym for ‘Akashigata’ (3B-001)

(3B-002) ‘Donation’ was labelled ‘Albertii’. It is in the wrong place here, being a UK variety, and is well represented elsewhere. It will probably get removed.

(3B-011) ‘Hatsuzakura’ is one of several synonyms for ‘Dewatairin’

3B-019 ‘Jitsugetsusei’ snapped off at ground level and is presumed dead.

(3B-023). This was labelled ‘Konronkoku’ which is clearly wrong, see 3B-022 for a correctly named plant.

(3B-024) ‘Kon-wabisuke’ appears to have grafted onto a semi-double williamsii type which I have now cut away. The flowers of the purported ‘Kon-wabisuke’ are very similar to those of ‘Fuyajo’ at (10-012).

Camellia maliflora (3B-026 & 3B-027) is accorded species status though it is almost certainly a hybrid. It was imported to England from China in 1816 and has not subsequently been found in China.

(3B-029 & 3B-030) The name ‘Higo-momijigari’ has been applied to this variety to distinguish it from another variety named ‘Momijigari’.

(3B-031 & 3B-032) ‘Reigyoku’ is very prone to reverting from its variegated state to solid green and seems particularly reluctant to flower on variegated shoots.

‘Apollo’ (3B-040) was labelled ‘Trebah Gardens’ but appears identical to ‘Apollo (Paul)’, as at (2B-001). The Register only includes it because it is in the Mount Edgcumbe list and says it may be an unknown old variety. It’s old, but no longer unknown.
