Camellia hiemalis and C. vernalis are two types of camellias that are in between C. sasanqua and C. japonica. They are like C. sasanqua in that they tolerate sun and have smaller leaves than a typical C. japonica. Yet they are like a japonica in thatthey have larger flowers than a sasanqua. They both have genetic material inherited hundreds of years ago from C. sasanqua and C. japonica. No wild plants of these camellias have been discovered in China or Japan, where they have been cultivated for hundreds of years.
