This rich and very deeply-coloured Peony has been 
- obligingly confiatiinsted fom the garden of the Rev. 
J. T. Huntrizy of Kimbolton, who received it from the 
Prince Dr Satm Dyck. It will be seen, that the stamens 
re converted into narrow, acuminated and spirally twisted 
etals, bearing the same relation to the original stock as 
the Anemone-flowered, or Warratah Camellia does to the 
true Camenira Japonica, and it is scarcely less beautiful in 
. 
its appearance.
