Verschaffelt, 1860, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book IV, pl.II as ‘Fanny Bolis Dr Piantine’:
Received in 1856 from Count Bernadino Lechi of Brescia, Italy where it was obtained from
seed. It is a white variety of the class of perfections, due to the regular imbrication of its
petals, of medium size, shaped like a rose at the centre. A few faint, delicate pink stripes adorn
the white ground. The name under the plate is ‘Fanny Bolis du Piantine’. It appears obvious
from the description that the ‘Fanny Bolis’(Italy) in the SCCS Camellia Nomenclature refers
to this cultivar, McIlhenny appears to have imported this into America as he lists it in his 1937
Catalogue as "Imbricated white, striated with rose". However by 1950 the name had been
erroneously transferred to Latifolia Variegated. In the following confusion in America, the
name was also equated with ‘Leeana Superba Variegated’, Gloire de Nantes Variegated and
‘Butterfly’. Orthographic errors included: ‘Fanny Bollis’, ‘Fanny Boles’, ‘Fannie Bolis’,
‘Fanny Basil’, ‘Fannie Bolis’, ‘Fany Bollis’, ‘Fanny Boliso Dr Piantine’. Vervaene in
