Leeana Superba. (C. japonica)
Morren, 1834, L'Horticulteur Belge, Journal Jardiniers Amateurs, 2:191, pl. 40: A superb variety from Lee. This brilliant camellia is from the glass houses of M. Verlieuwen of Ghent and flowered 17 April, 1834. The flower is 7.5cm across. The calyx has 12 sepals passing into petals; the petals have 4 rows, to a number of almost 30, those of the interior are rose-pink, variegated with white; the exterior are red, sometimes with a dart of white down the centre, emarginate and rounded. The leaves are smooth, rounded, pointed, shining, 8 cm x 5 cm. This variety was named for the celebrated London horticulturalist, Mr. Lee. It has been largely listed as 'Leana Superba' but the orthography 'Leeana Superba' is the valid one. This cultivar was imported from Japan twice, once by John Reeves to England through Macao, 1831, when it was named 'Bealei' and previously by von Siebold to Belgium, 1829, when it was named 'Leeana Superba'. See 'Bealei' for further details.
