blush peony-flowered, introduced in 1820; and the white peony-flow- 
ered, introduced in 1810, may be considered as subvarieties of the

. j. 13 semidipiex Bot. Rep. The semidouble-flowered Japanese Camellia. — Figured 
in Bot. Rep., t.559. The flowers consist of from 6 to 12 large roundish petals, 
in a single or double series, with a column of stamens in the centre: they are of a 
rich rose colour. Introduced in 1808, Middlemist’s red camellia so closely resembles 
this sort as hardly to be distinguishable from it. 
# C, j. 14 dtro-rubens Bot. Cab. The dark red-flowered Japanese Ca- 
mellia, Loddiges’s red Camellia.— Figured in Lodd. Bot. Cab., t. 170. ; 
and Chand]. Ji/., t.25. This is a very beautiful variety, and a vi- 
gorously growing one. It is always among the iatest in coming 
into blossom, the flowers opening at about the same time as those of 
the waratah camellia. The plants have an erect fastigiate habit, 
and the flowers are of a deep scarlet, and are very showy. They 
are not so large as in some of the other varieties; but they have a 
marked appearance from the middle of the flower being filled with 
small petals, which project so as to overtop the others. Imported 
by Messrs. Loddiges, from China, in 1809. Price, in London, 5s. ; 
and at Bollwyller, 5 francs. 
a C. 7.15 Welbdnkii Chandl. Ill.,t. 27.; Welbank’s white-flowered Japanese 
Cameilia. C. j. luteo-albicans Bot. Reg., t.708.; C. j. flavéscens ; and 
white Moutan Camellia.— Figured in Bot. Reg., t. 708. The flowers, 
which have been compared to those of Gardenia flérida, are of a 
yellowish-white colour, rather delicate, and they do not open very 
freely. The flowers are from 3 in. to 34 in. in diameter. In Messrs. 
Chandler and Booth’s account of this variety, published Feb., 1831, 
it is characterised as very different from any other white-flowered 
kind, and as being of robust habit, and remarkable for the convexity 
of its foliage. Introduced by Captains Welbank and Rawes in 1820. 
Price, in London, 5s.; and at Bollwyller, 10 francs. 
a C. 7. 16 rosea Don’s Mill. The rosy-flowered Japanese Camellia.—The 
flower has the appearance of a small moss rose; it measures about 
24 in. in diameter, approaching in form that of the myrtle-leaved. 
Introduced in 1821. Price, in London, 3s. 6d. each; and at Boll- 
wyller, 5 francs. 
a C. 7. 17 speciosa Hort. Trans. The showy Japanese Camellia, Rawes’s 
variegated Waratah Camellia. Caméllia Rawesidna Hort. — Figured 
in Chandl. Jil., t.32. An extremely handsome variety, with 
flowers of a deeper red than either those of C. atro-ribens or 
the waratah. They open very regularly, and, when expanded, are 
usually 4 in, in diameter. Nearly the whole of the petals have a 
little white stripe at their base, and some of them are variegated ; 
all of them are disposed in the same manner as those of the 
waratah. It was imported by Captain Richard Rawes in 1824, whe 
presented it to his relation, T. C. Palmer, Esq., Bromley, Kent. 
Price, in London, 10s. 6d.; and at Bollwyller, 50 francs. 
. j. 18 caérnea Bot. Reg. The flesh-coloured-flowered Japanese Camellia, Middlemist’s red 
Camellia, rose-coloured Camellia.—Figured in Bot. Reg., t.22. The flowers are similar 
in colour to those of the semidouble red (No. 13.), but larger. The centre petals 
are short and vary in form, generally they are roundish and a little twisted, as well as 
marked with dark-coloured veins, and all of them have, more or less, a small white. 
coloured stripe down their centre. The stamens are gererally all changed into petals, 
and the whole flower resembles a full-blown rose. Introduced in 1808.
