c. olifera
A Portuguese japonica whose pine-cone-shaped semi-double blooms display red spotted with white.
Originating in Portugal and registered in 2000, this cultivar is distinguished by its unusual pine-cone-shaped blooms — a rare silhouette in the japonica world. The flowers display red spotted with white coloring in a semi-double arrangement, appearing mid-season to late. Documented with a color photograph in Ferreira and Celina's 2000 publication O Mundo da Camélia. Listed locally as 'c. olifera' and registered as 'Conifera.' Source: International Camellia Register.
