Autumn camellia, Camellia sasanquashrub of the family Theaceae (as the tea of China, Camellia sinensis var. sinensis)Etymology: the Camellia name was created in 1753 by the Swedish naturalist Carl von Linné in homage to the father Jesuit botanist George Joseph Kamel, native to Moravia (Brno, a 1661 - Manila, on 1706), who lived in the Philippines during 17 years. The Camellia was introduced after his death, in the middle of the XVIIIth century. "Autumn" variety is so indicated because it flourishes at the end of the autumn and in winter, unlike Camellia japonica, Camellia with double flower, which flourishes at the end of winter - spring. One thinks that word " sasanqua " comes from a phonetic variation of the Chinese word indicating the "flower of tea Mantan", allusion to the soft fragrance of this camellia. Maintenance: pruning is not necessary, safe to clarify too abundant branches. Other common species: Literature: the french novelist Alexander Dumas familiarised the public with the camellia since his novel, La dame aux camélias. |
