blooming. Tuyama, 1968, Camellias in Japan, pl.399, p.203, description, p.208: Branchlets
erect and straight, bark greyish to greyish white. Leaves narrowly elliptic to broadly
lanceolate, venation impressed, petioles glabrous. Flowers single, 7-8 cm across, light pink
(Rhodomine pink 527/1), petals, 5-6, arcuated half above, horizontally spreading and
wrinkled all over. Staminal tube orange yellow. Blooms early to mid-season. In rare cases
produces viable seeds and is the parent of divers wabisuke type cultivars. See: Tuyama, 1966,
Camellia Cultivars of Japan, pl.222, p.390; Encyclopedia of Camellia in Colour, vol.I, 1972,
pl.188, p.362; p.137, Yokoyama & Kirino, 1989, Nihon no Chika. In the Journal of Japanese
Botany, 1910, Makino raised this member of the Wabisuke group to species rank as Thea
reticulata, Tarôkaja’ becoming Thea reticulata var. rosea, but this is invalid as Lindley,
(1827) had already used reticulata in the camellia genus. In 1952 Kitamura reclassified Thea
reticulata var rosea as the species Camellia uraku but in 1970 reverted to it being a form of
Wabisuke. A large and ancient plant of Tarôkaja grows in the garden of the Buddhist Temple
Tôji-in, Sakyô-ku, Kyôto where it was known as ‘Wabisuke’ and is the origin of the use of
that name for this cultivar. Around Kyôto it is also known as ‘Momoiro-wabisuke’. Another
Japanese synonym is ‘Bunzô-wabisuke’, a name given to one individual plant. Likewise a
specific plant in the convent Chôfukuji, Kyôto is called ‘Koshikibu’. The famous Tea Master,
Oda, Urakusai (Lord Oda Nagamasu) favoured it as a variety most suitable for the teahouse
arrangement. (Chabana). Oda Uraku. was the younger brother of Oda Nobunaga, a famous
16th Century Shôgun and a contempory of St. Francis Xavier. The word ‘Uraku’ is Zen
Buddhism for ‘Existing Pleasure’. Further Japanese synonyms are ‘Tosa-tsubaki’, ‘Tarôkaja-tsubaki’, ‘Koshikibu’ and ‘Uraku’. Its variegated form is known as ‘Tarôkaja-shibori’.
Different readings are ‘Tarohkaja’ and ‘Tarôkanja’. Its Western synonym is ‘Judith’. The
40
cultivar is common on mainland China and may have originated there. Corruptions of its
name are: ‘Taro-Kandjia’, ‘Tarô-Kanjia’, and ‘Taro-kwanja’. For botanical drawings, colour
photo and description see pp.9-12, Kyôto Engei Kurabu, 1982, Tsubaki Tokushû, No.11. The
comedy character Tarôkaja is a raw country bumpkin servant whose dialect is not understood
by his educated master and vice-versa, the misunderstandings arising from this cause them to
perform a comic dance.

Tokayama. McIlhenny, 1935, List of Camellias for Sale. Renamed ‘Tokayama’(South) as it was

Vanderbilt, 1941, Camellia Research II, p.8. McIlhenny imported the true
Tôkayama from Chûgai, Japan in 1934 but confused it with a red formal double he received
from Bobinck and Atkins Nursery at the same time which was later confirmed as Margherita
Coleoni. Synonym for Tôkayama.

Camellia Nomenclature both give this as a pink with a darker pink edge. However from the
1968 issue and on, the description was changed to pink with a white edge, and this is the form
that currently carries the name “Tom Thumb”. From this it would appear that the sport
“Thumbellina” was originally named “Tom Thumb”. Due to the present universal use of the
name Tom Thumb for the white edged form and Thumbellina for the dark pink edged form,
these are let stand. Sports: Thumbellina, Tom Thumb Blush.

d’Horticulture, Paris, 16:33; Berlèse, 1841, Iconographie, vol.1, pl.3: Flowers 9-10 cm
across, semidouble, pure white background, striped all along the length of the petals with
several lines, some soft rose, some blood red. Mertens & Fontaine, Collection de cent
espèces.....camellia, 1845, pl. 2. Puddle and Hanger, 1960, RHS., The Rhododendron and
Camellia Yearbook, No 14, p.160: Semi-double of 14-20 petals orbicular, 4.5 cm long x 4.5
cm wide, margins notched at apex. Petals form a cup-shaped bloom, but spread almost flat
with age. Stamens in a central column, often intermingled with a few petaloids. Flower
diameter 7-9 cm. Colour very variable but was originally white striped with Neyron rose, 623.
Leaves bright medium green, lanceolate, apex long acuminate, margins strongly and coarsely
serrate, undulate and twisted at the centre with a tendency for the margins to roll under. It
forms a well-clothed, dense spreading bush. This is a most variable cultivar and not only has
produced a number of sports but the type itself is variable in background colour, from white
through the pale shades of pink, and the number of petals can vary considerably on the one
plant, occasionally producing single blooms. The Japanese name for this cultivar is
‘Ezo-nishiki’, (Brocade of Hokkaido). In Japan the earliest date of valid publication for
‘Ezo-nishiki’ yet located, is in Kasuya, Kamegorô, 1859, Tsubaki Irohanayose Irotsuki, which
leaves Tricolor as the prior, valid name. However it is obviously much older than this as it
was one of the camellias brought to Europe from Japan in 1829 by Dr Frans von Siebold. In
USA considerable confusion occured due to its erroneous equation with the Japanese cultivar,
Wakanoura. This spilt over into the naming of the various mutations which occured in the
“Tricolor” group. These are: Lady de Saumarez (‘Aka-ezo-nishiki’), Lady Mackinnon,
Fred Sander, Fred Sander Variegated, Cinderella, Raspberry Ice, Tricolor White
(Shiro-ezo-nishiki), Tricolor Pink, Dainty (California), Jewel Bowden, Chalk Pink,
Nishiki-gasane, Miyako-no-nishiki. Also in the 160 years since its importation to Europe it
has accumulated an impressive list of synonyms and orthographic errors which include:
‘Tricolor Sieboldii’, ‘Tricolor de Sieboldii’, ‘Seiboldii’, ‘Sieboldiana’, ‘Tricolor Siebold’,
‘Tricolor’(Siebold), ‘Tricolor Sieboldii Vera’, ‘Tricolor Sieboldtii, ‘Tricolour’, ‘Seiboldtii’,

of which the flowers are variegated. It thus appears the “Decipiens” is the same as Lady de
