This is the celebrated variegated Chinese Azalea, which 
so many attempts have been made in vain for these twenty 
years to procure alive. It was brought home by Mr. M‘Kil- 
ligan in 1832, and is now in possession of Mr. Knight, of 
the King's Road. 
In habit and leaves it is exactly the same as the brick- 
red kind figured at f. 1700; but it is far handsomer in 
flower. - The blossoms which were produced in Mr. Knight's 
ursery, not having been so perfect as could have been 
wished, we have completed our figure from a Chinese draw- 
Ing in the possession of the Horticultural Society, which had 
been made under the inspection of Mr. Reeves.
