Narrative
Recorded at the U.S. National Arboretum as Camellia 'Winter's Fire Variegated'. In December 2022, I noticed that one individual in NA 75560 (75560-H) bears virus-variegated flowers; this "version" of the clone has been published and is included in the International Camellia Register as 'Winter's Fire Variegated'. I had changed the name of the entire original accession at that time, but later noticed that the other plant in the accession (75560-J) does not appear to be infected and is 'Winter's Fire'. Most likely the virus was transmitted unintentionally during grafting, but the rootstock was not all infected; this has happened with a number of Ackerman's camellia selections that he donated to USNA in the 2000s, often as plants that he had previously obtained from nurseries. The virused plant, formerly NA 75560-H, will now be recorded as NA 87588-H instead. -SBL
