Our drawing of this. very rare plant was taken at Meffrs. 
Lee and Kennepy’s, where it flowered in the ftove laf

- Tuunsere ftates its feafon of flowering in Japan to be in 
May and June. Mr. Donn, of Cambridge, fays, it blooms 
with us in July; he confiders it as a greenhoufe fhrub. It 
may probably, as well as many other Japan plants, be found 
fufficiently hardy to endure our climate without fhelter. The 
beautiful Camellias are perfe&ly fo, but their natural feafon of 
flowering being from O€tober to April, they can never be 
thoroughly naturalized-to our climate, until. this habit can be 
broken and another flowering feafon induced.
