Neutral	Monocromatico	On Apr 27, 2004, Monocromatico from Rio de Janeiro Brazil (Zone 11) wrote: This is a Taiwanese Camellia, cultivated mainly for the oil in its seeds. It has small, leathery, deep green, shiny leaves, with visible venation. The flowers are medium sized, 3 cm across, white, with 5 petals, and a crown of white stamens curved towards the middle. It is recomended as a pot plant, since it´s just too shy for landscaping.
