Accession Names and Identifiers
'Plain Jane'
Type: Cultivar name
Selected individual from PI 162561. Said by Ackerman to be hardier than 'Lu Shan Snow', and to impart greater hardiness in its offspring than 'Lu Shan Snow' does. The original plant was presumably at Glenn Dale Plant Introduction Station, and it may have been planted at USNA in the nursery along the Anacostia River (see NA 17262 and NA 21174; these may also have been mere siblings from the same PI-162561 seed lot).

PI 162561
Type: Other or unclassified name
PI 162561 is the parent accession/lot from which this clonal cultivar, 'Plain Jane', is said to have been selected. It is not a primary accession number for NA 84735.

Narrative
This clone was used heavily in the breeding of the USNA cold-hardy camellia hybrids by Dr. William Ackerman (and was considered to be hardier and to contribute greater hardiness to offspring than 'Lu Shan Snow'), from a plant of PI-162561 at Glenn Dale Plant Introduction Station that was found to pass good cold resistance to its offspring. Plants of that PI number were planted in the Anacostia River camellia nursery (see NA 17262 and 21174), but it is uncertain if they were 'Plain Jane' or just siblings of that clone. -SBL
