Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Camellia sasanqua 'Frosted Star'. Received misidentified as C. caudata; after noticing 1/17/2024 that the flowering plant looked quite strange for a species, and much like a hiemalis camellia, I discovered out that this plant had been known in the trade for some time as "Caudata false" and was given the new name C. sasanqua 'Frosted Star' by Nuccio's Nurseries in 1993. This accession matches 'Frosted Star' exactly. -SBL
