The ground colour is rose with a wash of pale rose on as much as half the petals. The centre of the flower is composed of some unequal petals; colouring intense rose towards the circumference and a wash of pale rose to the centre. Originated in Italy by Dr. Sacco, Milan about 1832. Synonyms: ‘Luna’, ‘Rosea Nova Vera’, ‘Alcina’, ‘Normanni’, ‘Halfida’, ‘Alfida’, ‘Sacco Prima’, ‘Sacco Superba’, ‘Sacco Magnifique’.

The spotted white form is a virus variegated form as variegation is not mentioned in the early descriptions.

Saccoi. Jacob Makoy Catalogue, 1839, p.18; van Houtte Catalogue, 1839, LS. No description; Anonymous, Jun. 1839, Revue Horticole. p.205-207. This is the form of Sacco in botanical latin. As Dr Sacco was Italian and the Italian catalogues generally use Sacco as the name of the camellia this is accepted as the valid form and is the basis for all names in this group. The latin form ‘Saccoi’ was first introduced by van Houtte and most French and English listings followed suit. The three varieties, Sacco, Sacco Nova and Sacco Vera appear to be slightly different in their early descriptions and credited to different originators. As well, they are listed separately in a number of Italian catalogues of the time and are considered to have been separate cultivars, irrespective of van Houtte lumping them all together with many other synonyms, orthographic errors and pseudonyms. These are as follows: ‘Normanii’, ‘Colore de Lacca’, ‘Color di Lacca’, ‘Rosa Nova Vera’, ‘Saccoi’, ‘Saccoi Nova’, ‘Sacco Nuova’, ‘Saccoi Vera’, ‘Saccoiana’, ‘Saccoiana Vera’, ‘Jaco’, ‘Jacco Prima’, ‘Jakoi’, ‘Luna’, ‘Luaa’, ‘Aluna’, ‘Alcina’, ‘Alcina Rosea’, ‘Amidina’, ‘Augustina’, ‘Augustina Superba’, ‘Augustiniana Superba’. Note; Camelie Dell'Ottocento nel Verbano, 2000, vol.1, pp.212-215, with colour photographs, describes two cultivars as Sacco and ‘Saccoi’, with small variations in flower and leaf characteristics.

(C.japonica), Fendig, 1953, American Camellia Catalogue: White. Incomplete double. Mid- season. American Camellia Yearbook, 1954, p.332, Reg. No.209: A 3 year old sport of C.M. Wilson that first flowered 1950. Originated by Toichi Domoto, Hayward, California, USA. Plant type and growth are the same as for Elegans. Flower incomplete double anemome form, similar to Elegans. Colour white. Some petals show very light basal pink on first opening. Flowers mid-season. The name is formed from ‘Shiro’, Japanese for white and ‘Chan’ for Chandler. Sport: Snow Chan. Names previously used for this white sport of C.M. Wilson or Elegans are ‘Chandleri White’, (McIlhenny, 1937); ‘Chandler’s White’, (Vanderbilt, 1941) and ‘White Elegans’, (Fruitland, 1943). The cultivar Madge Miller named in 1938, believed to be seedling of Elegans, being very similar, caused confusion by collecting synonyms such as ‘Chandleri Alba’, ‘White Chandleri’ and ‘Chandleri White’. This casts doubt on this complete group of synonyms and, while McIlhenny’s ‘Chandleri White’, 1937 has priority it is considered that Shiro Chan is now in such universal use that it be let stand as the valid name.

Van Houtte Catalogue, 1841, 7:19: Imbricated, white with a yellowish streak extending down each petal from the centre to the circumference. Verschaffelt, 1848, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book IX, pl.II: Originated by Mr. Negri, Milan, Italy, this interesting camellia has been found in collections for several years. It is sometimes met under the name of ‘Belle-Irene’. The name is derived from the latin sulco = a groove and expresses the greenish line found in the middle of the border. The deep green leaves are oval, oblique, 4-5 cm wide x 7-8 cm long, acuminate with regular serrations. The bud is large, round with greenish scales; the blossoms, 10 cm across, are full, anemone form, with numerous white petals, oval, rounded, emarginate and regularly imbricated from the centre to the circumference. Verschaffelt in 1852 again figured and described this cultivar under name ‘Belle Irene’, Book IV, pl.III.

Sweetheart. (C.japonica). Griffiths, 1958, American Camellia Yearbook, pp.9,10: A sixth sport of ‘Huntington’, (Otome-shibori), has been scheduled for release in Sept. 1959. This variety is Sweetheart, winner of the All-American Camellia Selection for 1958-1959. The sport was first noticed in 1943 by Edward B. Arnesen, Valley Garden Supply Co., North Hollywood, California. It is a self pink sport, described as Rhodamine-pink 527/2 with outer petals camellia-rose 622/1-2. It is reported that this light-pink, almost blush, variation of ‘Huntington’ (Otome-shibori) is quite distinct and should not be confused with the rose-pink sport, ‘Huntington Pink’ (Casablanca) which can also sport to Sweetheart. Popular Gardening, Sept. 1958, p.15 carries an illustration and describes the cultivar as an apricot-pink formal double with flowers 9-11 cm across. At maturity a cluster of short golden-tipped stamens may appear, and occasionally a semi-double flower with fluted petals shows up. The colouring is unique as it does not have the bluish cast that other pinks often show. The veining is occasionally a deep pink, and infrequently a flower may appear softly marbled with white.

It was raised from seed at Mr Colvill’s by Mr Sweet some years ago from the cross ‘Pomponia’ (Pompone) x Variegata. Sweet, 1833, British Flower Garden, ser.II, Vol.II, No. 133 with colour painting: Flower bearing a strong resemblance to a variegated rose, generally very double. The illustration depicts a pink, rather than a blush background, with darker pink streaks and spots and faint white edge to the petals which are ruffled and faintly imbricated in 5 outer rows with 9-10 petals to the outside row. This type of camellia is most variable in its depth of background colour, and, from the different descriptions, appears variable in form also. Berlèse, 1841, Iconographie, vol.1, pl.91: The petals of the circumference are in three rows, of average size, long-oblong, somewhat imbricated, of a very pale flesh-orange with touches of yellowish rose and longitudinal veins or mottles of deep orange red with nuances of softer colour, edges margined with white, sometimes double notches at the apex. Those at the centre are small, more or less numerous, erect, narrow and strap-like, of the same colour as the others and with sterile stamens. See
