2020 Camellia Nomenclature;

CAMELLIA NOMENCLATURE 2020, Twenty-Ninth Edition is a revised, descriptive list of over 7,600 cultivars (varieties) of various species and hybrids generally grown by the amateur camellia hobbyist in the English-speaking world and particularly in the United States of America. Cultivars originating in other countries are generally included only when they are introduced in the United States. This book is based on a continuing research program by the Nomenclature Research Committee of the Southern California Camellia Society and is a non-profit amateur effort. This reference has been adopted throughout the world as the best available source of nomenclature information and is generally used by amateur growers and camellia nurserymen. The initial and continued purposes of this work are to decrease confusion and settle controversies surrounding the names of both old and new cultivars of camellias, and to present a short, concise nomenclature list for the elucidation and protection of the amateur grower generally.
