The Second Supplement to the International Camellia Register is now available from International Camellia Society membership representatives in the various ICS regions. It incorporates the new registrations contained in the first supplement and adds all information gathered since the publication of the first supplement. However, the Second Supplement does not include corrections contained in the first. Consequently, the two supplements must be read together with the Register for a complete body of information about camellia registrations.
There are some First Supplements available from European Registration Secretary Andy Simons in the U.K. He
can be contacted at: a.simons "at" ntlworld.com
There also is a limited supply of Registers still available, from ICS U.S. Director Art
Landry. He can be contacted at: aplandry "at" bellsouth.net

The International Camellia Register is now available to all interested parties, on line, with no charge. It includes all camellias registered and listed in publications since the publication of the ICR Supplement, in 1998. You can access the Register through the url www.camellia-international.org Please note the following important information about searching the register. Search and Entry List
Facilities A small number of 19th-Century European cultivars appears in the updated Register for the first time (e.g., 'Axoniensis'). To identify them for the benefit of those interested in the antique camellias, the name is underlined. The valid name for each such cultivar is that given in the alphabetical PDF lists of the Web Register. |
In April 2008, the International Camellia Society -- since 1962 the International Registration Authority for the genus Camellia -- nominated Neville Haydon as International Camellia Registrar. He has been duly appointed by the Council of the International Society for Horticultural Science. His contact details are: 4/6 Ingram Street, Papakura 2110, New Zealand.

At the ICS Congress in Cornwall in April 2008, the directors approved the publication of an updated hard-copy Second Supplement to the International Camellia Register, to be published in 2010. The International Camellia Register itself will not be republished, but will stand as the historical publication of record.
In March 2010, at the ICS Congress in Kurume, directors approved publication of a completely new Second Edition of the International Camellia Register, to incorporate all information, including corrections that have been notified to the Registrar, that is contained in the first edition of the Register and the two supplements, as well as new information that is notified to the Registrar in the intervening time. The target date for publication is 2020. Updates will continue to be made on on-line edition of the Register at timely intervals.
The register is the culmination of work begun in the 1950s to collect all available written information on camellia cultivars, and to sort out valid names, synonyms, etc, with a description and history of more than 30,000 entries. The Register and Supplement also list and briefly describe the more than 200 Species of camellia, as of 1998. For general information read the Foreword, the Acknowledgements, and the Preface of the Register. For proper use it is necessary to look into the Explanation of text and abbreviations. These help clarify the role of a genus registrar: what a registering body is authorized to do and should do, but also importantly, what it does not have the authority to do.
Such a work as the International Camellia Register will always be open to amendments and corrections -- error and omissions will always exist in such a comprehensive list, no matter how carefully checked, and in view of further data coming to light from previously unknown literature and catalogues. The first supplement to the International Camellia Register corrected many errors, but others undoubtedly still exist in the records. Hence our continued plea to readers to notify the Registrar of any further data or information available to the reader, as well as errors in this compilation, all with supporting material or explanations of corrections, so that this information may be included. Corrections will be made periodically in the Web Register, and information on new cultivars will be added to it periodically.
