"Collected Species of the Genus Camellia, an Illustrated Outline (in English and Chinese)
Our Price: $95.00

By Gao Jiyin, Clifford R. Parks and Du Yuequiang One hundred and eighty-eight Camellia species are described in this comprehensive volume with lavish color photos of flowers, foliage and habit. For each species the botanical characteristics, distribution and horticultural merits are discussed in English and Chinese. The species are grouped into sections which helps sort the many species into plants with similar characteristics. The distribution and elevation information helps one think about hardiness and adaptability to different climates. As the Chinese have grown some of these species there is useful information for the garden culture and breeding potential of many species. Of course the features of the plant are described quite completely down to the perules and chromosome number. Only 2500 books were printed and these will not be available in your local bookstore. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to my father for Camellia breeding and research. Shipping is $15 for this book. If you are ordering it only, your shipping fees will be adjusted down from our minimum ship rate.
