I should probably have started this page earlier but up until now (March 2019) I have only put new labels onto plants where the existing label had been lost.

I am now at the point where I am sufficiently certain that the existing labels on some plants are incorrect, AND am certain to a high level of confidence what the variety correctly is, to be replacing them. The first part of that requirement is much easier than the second and there are many plants in the collection where it is only the first part that has been satisfied. Most of those plants still have the incorrect label on them but where labels have been lost on varieties that seem to be incorrectly identified in the records, I have not replaced them.

Labels attached on 11/3/2019.

1) 1G-054 Replaced label showing Camellia japonica ‘Katie’ with one showing Camellia japonica ‘White Nun’. Two plants had been purchased from Coghurst Nursery and planted in 2003. The one at 1L-015 fits the description for the variety, ie large and pink; this one is white and seems identical to ‘White Nun’ at 1H-029 & 1H-030.

2) 1G-070 Replaced label showing Camellia japonica ‘Mathotiana Alba’ with one showing ‘Camellia japonica ‘Mathotiana Rosea’. The plant flowers uniformly pink and is a good match with ‘Mathotiana Rosea’ at 2C-036.

3) 2C-008 Replaced label showing Camellia williamsii ‘Candy Stripe’ with one showing Camellia x williamsii ‘Marjorie Waldegrave’. Plant is an exact match for the three plants of this variety in sections 2D and 9.

4) 1P-026 Replaced label showing Camellia japonica ‘Mathotiana’ with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Grand Sultan’. ‘Grand Sultan’ was widely grown under the name ‘Mathotiana’ but is quite different. This plant is a good match for ‘Grand Sultan’ 5D-008 and except for the flower colour, with its sport ‘Augusto Pinto’ 5D-002.

5) 2A-041 Replaced label showing Camellia japonica ‘Migali’ with one showing ‘Camellia japonica ‘Lady Vansittart’. Both this plant and the one at 5A-047 are clearly ‘Lady Vansittart’. ‘Migali’ is described in the Register as a small, shell pink single which these are not.

6) 2A-010 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Chandleri’.

7) 2A-002 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Alba Plena’.

8) 2A-050 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia hybrid ‘Nijinski’.

9) 2A-027 Replaced broken label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Imbricata’.

10) 2A-047 Replaced broken label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Mrs Delacquer’s Beauty’.

11) 2A-015 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia x williamsii ‘Citation’ (Marked on maps as ‘Delia Williams’. The priority name is ‘Citation’.)

12) 2A-040 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia hybrid ‘Maud Messel’.

13) 1A-034 Replaced broken label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Miss Charleston’.

14) 1A-051 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Yours Truly’.

15) 1A-036 Replaced label showing Camellia japonica ‘Nuccio’s Pearl’ with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Nuccio’s Jewel’.

16) 1B-010 Replaced broken label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Moonlight Bay’.

17) 10-006 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia hiemalis ‘Dazzler’.

18) 10-066 Replaced temporaray label with one showing Camellia tsaii.

19) 10-068 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia yuhsienensis.

20) 10-075 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia sasanqua ‘Rainbow’.

21) 10-052 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia sasanqua ‘Sasa-no-yuki’.

22) 10-031 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia hybrid ‘Minato-no-akebono’.

23) 1D-011 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘June McCaskill’.

24) 2E-026 Replaced broken label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Minnie Maddern Fiske’.

25) 1L-007 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia hybrid ‘El Dorado’.

26) 1L-041 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Strawberry Blonde’

27) 1L-051 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Wildfire’.

28) 1L-006 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Deep Secret’.

29) 1K-040 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia hybrid ‘Spring Mist’.

30) 1J-031 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Patricia Ann’. This was originally shown on the plan as unknown with the plant next to it (now 1J-042) marked as ‘Patricia Ann’. I have still not identified 1J-042 but this one is clearly ‘Patricia Ann’.

31) 1E-026 Replaced label showing Camellia japonica ‘Martha Brice’ with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Marie Bracey’. There is another plant labelled ‘Martha Bryce’ at 4C-003 which is different from this one and appears correct. There was also a reference to the variety ‘Marie Bracey’ being in this section on an old plan and it does match descriptions of that variety.

32) 1E-023 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘King’s Ransom’.

33) 1F-017 Replaced temporary label with one showing ‘Camellia japonica ‘High Wide’n Handsome’.

34) 1M-037 Replaced temporary label with one showing Camellia japonica ‘Masquerade’.
