Camellia, Latin name Camellia, is an evergreen flowering plant from the Theaceae family, characterized by shrubby or tree-like growth. The majority of them originate from Southeast Asia, China and Japan. Camellias were named after the botanist and pharmacist George Joseph Kamel, who introduced them to Europe.
Camellia japonica Alba Plena This cultivar was brought to England from China in 1792 by Captain John Corner on the ship Carnatic, owned by the East India Company. The native region of this plant is the Chinese province of Guangdong, and it is considerably older than the modern metropolis of Shenzhen in Guangdong. It was imported to America around 1800, specifically in New Jersey. It has a beautiful white flower that in the 19th century became a symbol of female excellence and women’s suffrage. The flower is symmetrically double-formed, medium to large-sized, with a diameter of 10 cm and a depth of 3.5 cm. The petals decrease in size proportionally towards the center. The plant has a medium height and bright green leaves. It can also be found in the Opatija Park and private gardens.
