"var." can be used at the end when you want to specify that it's a variety but you don't know the variety name, similarly to how you can use "Felis sp." to specify that it is an unnamed or unspecified species of cat.

Dunno. I'm following the bit Rene wrote for the editorial policy: "For varieties, the abbreviation "var." must be used." I see that it's usually in the form "Brassica oleracea var. botrytis", and these dangling "var." are the minority. 
From what I'm reading about camelias these entries refer to different cultivars - there are really only two "vars". We'd better check with Rene - he's the expert in this field.

Normally in latin nomenclature you'd have the "var." bit followed by the name of the variety, e.g. something like "Camellia japonica 
var. kagurajishi", right? If we're using "var." to mean "variety of Camelia japonica", might it be better to phrase it like that?
