For an account of the species we refer to the twenty- 
second article of this work. The present is one of its more 
rare and ornamental varieties; and we believe was intro- 
duced some few years back from China, by the late Lady 
Amelia Hume. [It varies in itself from a deeper to a paler 
flesh-colour. The drawing has been made from a plant in 
Mr. Knight's nursery in the King's Road, Chelsea. 
The genera, which had been distributed by Jussieu in 
three divisions under his order durantia or the Orange- 
tribe, in which CAMELLIA was included, now form four 
distinct orders. Of these, that of the 7Aeacee contains 
only Tura and CAMELLIA, well-suited congeners in a na- 
tural arrangement, but separated by Linnzus in compliance 
with the rule of his system, which establishes the coa- 
lescence of the filaments into one or more parcels, a funda- 
mental difference in one set of classes from another set, 
where that character is not present, without regard to na- 
tural affinity. This rule seems to us to trench more re- 
peatedly on the natural relations of species, and to be com- 
pensated by fewer corresponding advantages than any other 
devised by the genius of the author of that professedly 
artificial, but in great part natural as well as profoundly in- 
genious and most useful system. In respect however to 
'THEA and CAMELLIA, neither of these characters is so com- 
pletely marked in one or the other, but that both genera 
might rank under the same title, without any essential de- 
parture from the above rule, But is the reduction of two or
