For this very rare and beautiful variety of CamELiia we are 
indebted to Meffrs. Coanpier and BuckINGHAM, Nurfery- 
_ men at Vauxhall. 
' ‘The leaves, though the fmalleft of any of the varieties which 
| we have feen, are rather too large to warrant the name of 
myrtifolia. The flower is round and. compaét, with the inner 
petals gradually diminifhing in fize ; approaching, except in 
colour, to the Bourbon or double white variety. 
ss Requires the fame treatment as the other varieties, and is 
= readily propagated by inarching- on ftocks of the more com- 
mon forts, or by cuttings. -
