Brent:
Camellia japonica ssp. japonica var. macrocarpa Massamune (1933)
is a species.

There are several wild species collectors in the world.

I will ask the specialists on the coming meeting of the
International Camellia Society at Jersey,  30.3.95, for
this species and find the closest collector.
Be patient! Klaus.
