'Camélias...outros olhares (Camellias ... other views)'

published in Portugal in February 2011

 This multifaceted book on camellias touches on such a diversity of issues as their origin and history en route to the West, botanical-related aspects and plant cultivation and propagation. It also makes reference to camellias in different locations or regions within Portugal and several other countries as well as the relationship between camellias and the arts (theatre, poetry, painting, music, ceramics, philately).

The work ends with a specific reference to Portuguese camellias, with a photographic record of hundreds of varieties, comprising the most significant specimens of 19th century camellia.
