No, it was raised by David Anderson in Worcestershire and named after
his daughter. One of the parents was 'Donation', but I forget the
other. He was also doing some work on the sasanquas including
Nurumigata, but we didn't the results from those.

Thanks, David. I'll look for a pic of that. When my son was born my ma in
law brought a little posy of Camellias from the garden to me in hospital and
I remember that Donation was one of them!
