Camellia japonica 'Prince Frederick William' was first listed in Sheather's Camellia Grove catalogue of 1872,[REF][REF] where it was described as "most delicate shade of pink, perfectly imbricated form".
Camellia japonica 'Prince Frederick William' was listed a number of times in Europe from 1865 on, but this was an orthographic error for a completely different cultivar: C. japonica 'Princess Frederick William'.
