Camellia octopetala

( Apparently syn ; Camellia crapnelliana, Crapnell’s camellia a Camellia Species native to Hong Kong and China ) … Single white flowers in May-June here … We got material of this form in my photos separately to our form of crapnelliana … I presume the trunk will be like a cinnamon stick as it ages also … In 1903 a solitary plant was found , the species was first collected and described by W. J. Tutcher from Mount Parker, Hong Kong
