South-Lambeth, in March, and we heard of it in fome other 
collections about the fame time. In the more common double 
varieties, the multiplication confifts of petals of nearly the fame 
fize or only gradually diminifhing towards the centre, where 
they become too crowded to find room fully to expand; but in 
this the outer petals remain of their full fize, not increafed in 
number, and the centre appears by the correfponding length, to 
be compofed of the filaments converted into fhort and imperfeét 
petals with their fides folded outwards. 
_ All the varieties may be propagated by budding on the more 
common kinds. ~ 
The fingle CamELt1a, which at the time of the publication 
of our figure, in 1788, was generally treated as a ftove plant, is 
now found to be hardy enough to bear being expofed, during 
the winter, to the open air; although, on account of its early 
feafon of flowering, before our winters are over, it cannot be 
feen to perfe€tion without fhelter,
