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. |
