Descr. The single white Camexuia possesses the same 
claims to our admiration, as so many of the other varieties 
of the species, which promises to be as sportive, when raised 
from seed, as the Roses themselves. The Plant in ques- 
tion is supposed to be the produce of seed from the striped 
Camexuia, and raised by Mr. Rotxinson, of Tooting. 
Our readers are referred to Mr. Samuet Curtis’s work 
above quoted, for the most splendid figures of the different 
varieties of Camexuia, and fora detailed history of them, 
with an account of their mode of treatment. That author 
justly remarks, “ that they possess good natural constitu~ 
tions to bear the variety of treatment they meet with ; for 
they are obliged to submit to all temperatures, from that 
of the open air, to the heat of the Pine stove. As to 
soil they grow best in about one-third of good bog earth, 
and two-thirds of rich sandy loam.” %
