An emperical study of camellia azalea and camellia amplexicaulis germination

摘要

Which camellia species and cultivars require a period of cold storage in order to successfully germinate? Since C. azalea and C. amplexicaulis are rare new camellia species of great interest to camellia breeders, this is a controlled study of their germination requirements when used as pollen parents with three japonica cultivars --'Tama-no-ura', 'Tama Peacock' and 'Silver Waves'.
