caption_attribution_description: English: Camellia reticulata, a hand-coloured engraving after a drawing by Alfred Chandler (1804-1896), from Illustrations and Descriptions of the Plants which Compose the Natural Order Camellieae (1831) by Chandler and William Beattie Booth. This plant was introduced into England by the Horticultural Society's collector John Damper Parks in 1824 and named by John Lindley.
context_page_description: Warren Hastings was a three-decker East Indiaman, launched in 1802. The French captured her in 1805 during her second voyage for the East India Company and sold her to Danish owners. The British recaptured her in 1807 or so, and within a year thereafter she was again in her former owner's hands. She then made several more voyages for the company.

She arrived at Whampoa on 7 November. Homeward bound, she crossed the Second Bar on 6 February 1820, reached St Helena on 21 April, and arrived at The Downs on 20 June Downs.
  Rawes brought with him Camellia reticulata plants, the first imported to England, the variety becoming known as 'Captain Rawes'. For over a century 'Captain Rawes' was the sole reticulata cultivated in Europe. Rawes also brought Palmer "Camellia sasanqua, var. β. stricata", "Paconia Moutan, var. Rawesii", and "Primula pranitens".
