Leaves deep green, glossy, very broadly elliptic, apex short acuminate, margins widely serrate, 11.5 cm long x 7 cm wide. Plant habit, spreading and vigorous. In America Latifolia had been confused with Gloire de Nantes and Leeana Superba and the variegated form, with Fanny Bolis and Gloire de Nantes Variegated when these in fact, are all distinct cultivars. Nevertheless Buist, 1845, American Flower Garden Directory, p.222 describes the correct cultivar. Orthographic errors: ‘Latafolia’, ‘Lattrifolia’.

Note: Krussman, Gerd, 1976, Manual of Cultivated Broad-leaved Trees and Shrubs, p.268 states “Breeder Guichard Soeurs, Nantes: This is erroneous as Latifolia originated before 1834, prior to the existence of Guichard Soeurs.

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 7.5 cm 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 red down the centre, emarginated and rounded. The leaves are smooth, rounded and pointed, shining, 8 cm x 5 cm. This variety was named for the celebrated London horticulturist, Mr. Lee. It has been largely listed as ‘Leana Superba’, but the orthography Leeana Superba is the valid one. Mertens & Fontaine, Collection de cent espèces.....camellia, 1845, pl. 8. This cultivar was imported from Japan twice; once by John Reeves to England through Macao, China, 1831, when it was named ‘Bealei’ and previously, by von Siebold to Belgium 1829, when it was named Leeana Superba. The first importation appears to have been when sent from Batavia, Jakarta by Governor Baron Van de Capellen to his family, having obtained it via Canton, China under the name ‘Camellia Granda’. The family gave it to the Botanic
56 Garden of Ghent on 9 January 1820. See ‘Bealei’ for further details.

Lysantha. (C.japonica), Herbert, 1837, Amaryllidaceae & Suppl., p.376: From the single white (Alba Simplex) from the pollen of Pompone...the flowers, if possible, are more regular than the ‘Buff’ (Incarnata) or old double white (Alba Plena), red with a watery line and margin to each petal. Anonymous, Apr.1843, Gardeners’ Chronicle, p.243: New camellia. We have received from the Dean of Manchester [Dr. Herbert], under the name camellia Lysantha, a seedling raised at Spofforth. Its maternal parent was a seedling from the old single red
129 (Rubra), ferlilized with the common striped camellia (Variegata) and was itself crossed with the myrtle-leaved variety (Myrtifolia). The colour is bright carmine with stripes of pale pink running down the centre of each petal. The outer petals are rounded and, when the flower is half open, are beautifully cupped; when fully expanded however, they fall back in the same manner as the old double white. The inner petals are somewhat pointed but fill up well in the centre. Synonym: ‘Lysimachus’. Orthographic error, ‘Lysanthe’, ‘Lysanta’.
