The Verschaffelts were a family of Belgian nurserymen
specializing in camellias. They published the newly introduced species and
hybrids in this very rare and monumental work from 1848-1860. It continues
Lorenzo Berlèse’s work Iconographie du genre Camellia. The fine plates
were drawn by Bernard Léon, L. Stroobant and son.* Nissen BBI 2056; Great flower books p. 85; Stafleu & Cowan 16.057. www.meemelink.com · index · Theaceae |
