Abstract

A new plant variety of Camellia with attractive red flowers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Camellia and was discovered as a seedling in a controlled planting of Camellia japonica in Altadena, Calif. The parent cultivars are unknown Camellia japonica. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘NUCCIO'S BELLA ROSSA’.
The genus Camellia is included in the family Theaceae which comprises about 25 genera of shrubs and trees, mostly tropical and subtropical, growing in the northern and southern hemispheres. Camellia comprises over 80 species of evergreen shrubs or trees, many of which possess desirable ornamental characteristics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety produces attractive red flowers. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by grafting and stem cuttings performed in Altadena, Calif. has confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying illustration shows a flower of the new cultivar in a photo illustration as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘NUCCIO'S BELLA ROSSA’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural, and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of a 14-year old plant grown in Altadena, Calif. In the description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart and terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in this color chart. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity, cultural, and environmental conditions.
Plant
Form: Upright, fairly compact.
Growth: Medium growth rate: about 5 feet high by 3 feet wide at 10 years of age.
Diameter: About 3 feet.
Leaves:
Shape.—Oval.
Size.—Length — about 4 inches; width — about 3 inches.
Color.—Upperside medium green near 147A to 147B; underside lighter near 147C.
Margin.—Serrate.
Apex.—Mucronate.
Base.—Rounded.
Texture.—Glabrous.

Texture.—Generally smooth, with some roughness.
Branches.—Size: About ½ inch in diameter. Crotch Angle: About 45° to about 60°. Texture: Generally smooth, with some roughness; somewhat rougher than trunk.
Roots.—Roots develop in about 90 days.
Hardiness.—Appears to be neither exceptionally more cold hardy or more cold sensitive, nor more heat tolerant or heat sensitive than most other Camellia japonica cultivars. However, ‘NUCCIO'S BELLA ROSSA’ has only been observed in Southern California (temperature range from about 25° F. to about 107° F.).
Flower
Bud:
Length.—About 1 inch.
Width.—About ½ inch.
