  Comments:
Seems it's known in camellia circles, but the Japanese forms simply don't register. I wouldn't mind if it were dropped.

Some siblings of 花車椿 (which I am guessing we don't want in this dictionary either), with pictures of each:

  Comments:
Was checking ngrams on 椿 terms.

This is an eminently obscure variety of ツバキ. 
Search "ハナグルマツバキ" in quotes, and all you get is ~6 和英辞典 entries and that's it.
Search "hanakuruma camellia" and you get dictionaries.
Search "花車椿" in quotes and you'll get mostly dictionary references, plus a handful of legitimate entries.

I've included one such entry in the refs, which contains a laundry-list of random ツバキ flower varieties, almost all just as obscure as this one.

I think it's reasonable to have a threshold for inclusion of flower names, and any threshold one might pick, this flower would fall beneath it.  The alternative is to allow thousands of random flower names that don't do anyone any good. 

As a flower, this is also as close to A + B as one could get. This entry is literally "Flower Cart" + "Camellia japonica" = "Flower Cart Camellia japonica". This entry adds no information.

What's particularly amusing is that we don't even have an entry for the real word 花車[はなぐるま] "flower cart". 

In tandem with deleting this, adding a 花車 "flower cart" entry would probably be more useful for everyone.

Strong, strong recommendation to delete this one.

It's a variety. See: http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/Editorial_policy#Names_of_biological_species about halfway down.
