    Commonly known as Deciduous camellia

    (STUARTIA)

    An attractive all-rounder. Flaking bark, late-spring flowers and good autumn colour.

    Genus related to Camellia of about 20 species of deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs from woodland in eastern Asia and southeastern USA.

    The name honours John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-92). The widely accepted name came about as a transcription error given to Carl Linnaeus.
