This line variety of Camellia japonica has been lately 
raised from seeds produced at their Nursery, Vauxhall, by 
Messrs. Chandler and Buckingham. It was obtained from 
the Warratah Camellia crossed by the striped-flowered 
variety. It is rem^arkable for the vivid colour of its 
crimson flowers, mottled with white and rose; and is a 
subvariety of the Warratah Camellia. 
We subjoin the character applied by M. De Candolle, 
to the Natural order Camelliese, which he reftiarks approxi- 
mates to Ternstromiaccae in the structure of its flower, but 
differs from them in having seeds without albumen. We may 
add, that one of M. DeCandoUe's species of Camellieai (C. 
axillaris), taken up from an early number of this work, is in 
fact referable to M. De Candolle s 5th division of Terns- 
tromiacese, and does not belong to the genus Camellia. 
" Sepals 5-7, in aestivation imbricated, the inner often 
larger than the others, somewhat concave, coriaceous, de- 
ciduous. Petals 5-6-9, equal in number to the sepals, alter- 
nate with them, and often cohering at the base. Stamens 
several. Filaments filiform, at the very base monadelphous, 
or polyadelphous. Anthers ellipsoid or round, versatile. 
Ovary 1, ovate roundish. Styles 3-6 filiform, more or less 
united. Capsule 3-celled, 3-valved splitting, by the abor-
