In the twenty-second article of the present publication, 

 where we spoke of the Pompone variety of this popular spe- 

 cies, we enumerated twelve others, being- all that were then 

 in our collections. The present has been introduced long 

 since, and is yet very rare. Although the double white 

 Camellia had been familiar in our gardens for some years 

 past, yet the single white one continued so long a desidera- 

 tum with our florists, that they began to doubt the existence 

 of it. . 



Like the rest of the varieties of this species, it has been 

 procured from China. 



The drawing was taken from a plant that flowered in 

 December last at Mr. Lee's nursery, Hammersmith ; and is 

 the only one we have seen.
