A camellia is a bush or small tree with thick, dark green, shiny leaves. In winter or early spring it opens large flowers — red, pink, or white, and sometimes mixed. People grow it because the flowers look a little like roses, though they are not roses. You can also say “a camellia” for one of those flowers, not only for the whole plant. In East Asia it is a garden favourite; in Taiwan you often see it out around Chinese New Year, when the weather is still cool. There is a close cousin, the tea plant, which scientists also put in the same plant group, but in everyday English we keep camellia for the garden plant, not for a tea bush.
組成From the scientific name Camellia, given in honour of Joseph Kamel (also written Camellus), a Moravian plant scientist (1661–1706). His Czech family name Kamel is a form of Kamil.
