2017 Camellia Nomenclature: Twenty-Eighth Revised Edition - Tapa blanda

CAMELLIA NOMENCLATURE is published primarily for the amateur camellia hobbyist in the English-speaking world and particularly in the United States of America. This Twenty-Eighth Edition is a revised, descriptive list of cultivars (varieties) of various species and hybrids generally grown by the amateur camellia hobbyist in the English-speaking world and particularly in the United States of America. Cultivars originating in other than English-speaking countries are generally included only when they are introduced in the United States. This book and the prior editions are based on a continuing international research program by the Nomenclature Research Committee of The Southern California Camellia Society. This committee is composed of qualified people in this field from various camellia growing areas in the United States, and is a non-profit amateur effort which has been adopted throughout the world as the best available source of nomenclature information and is generally used by amateur growers and camellia nurserymen. The initial and continued purposes of this work are to decrease confusion and settle controversies surrounding the names of both old and new cultivars of camellias, and to present a short, concise nomenclature list for the elucidation and protection of the amateur grower generally.
