a. 
been brought from China. The flowers are upwards of 34 in. in 
diameter, and are very regular in form, the petals being arranged one 
above another, and gradually diminishing in size towards the centre, 
exactly in the manner of the double white. The colour is of a fine 
crimson red, and remarkably showy. When the flowers first begin 
to open they are concave, but, as they expand, they become quite 
flat. The outer petals are nearly round. The centre petals are 
rather pointed, and rise upright.” (Don’s Mill.,i. p.576.) intro- 
duced in 1824. Price, in London, 7s. 6d. each. 
# C. 7.20 Parksii Hort. Trans. Parks’s Japanese Camellia, Parks’s striped- 
Rose Camellia. — The flowers are of a bright rose colour, 4 in. in 
diameter, irregularly striped or blotched with white, and they are 
slightly odoriferous, like the flowers of the myrtle-leaved variety. 
In this and other respects, it differs from C. j. variegata (No. 2.). 
Introduced in 1824. Price, in London, 10s. Gd. each. 
a C. j. 21 Sabiniana Hort. Trans. Sabine’s Japanese Camellia, Sabine’s white Camellia. —The 
flowers are of a pure white, 3 in. across, and they resemble in form those of the pompone. 
Introduced in 1824. 
B. Chinese and other Foreign Varieties not in general Cultivation, but in all 
probability as hardy as the others. 
# C. 7. 22 candidissina is noticed, in G. M., vol. xi. p. 78. and 190., as one that assimilates tg 
C. j. Wellbankzz; and as brought directly from Japan by Dr. Siebold, and called by 
some C. Siebéldz. It is deemed by some a species. It is in Mr. Knight’s collection. 
# C. 7. 23 Donklderi. — It is said that this is a very fine variety. It was raised on the Continent, 
and is named after the head gardener at the botanic garden at Louvain. (Gard. Mag., 
vol. xi. p.85.) Mr. Knight possesses it in a living state. (p. 190.) 
# C. j. 24 srancofurténsis.—F lowers dark and light red, quite as large as those of C. reticulata. 
Raised from seeds of C, argéntea, by M. J. Rinz, jun., nurseryman, Frankfort on the 
Maine; whodeems it the finest variety that has ever been seen in Germany. It flowered 
ne first time in 1834. Mr. Low, at Clapton, has a plant of it. (Gard. Mag., vol. xi. 
p. 265. 543.) 
a C. 7.25 hijbrida Makoy.—M. Jacob Makoy sent us, previously to March, 1835, a dried 
specimen of this kind of camellia, which he informed us was a hybrid from C. jap6nica 
var. insignis and C, eurydides. By the specimen, it assimilates in habit to euryOides: 
the leaves are ovate, acuminate, serrate, and slightly pubigerous; the sprig and buds 
densely pubigerous ; the flower lin. across, perhaps more ; and the petals 5, orbicular, and 
centred by the cluster of stamens. The petals, in a dried state, were of a buff colour ; 
they might be, when living, white, tinted with red: nothing was stated of their colour 
when living. M. Makoy deemed the hybrid a fine variety. (Gard. Mag., vol. xi. p. 145.) 
Other names of Foreign Varieties of C. japénica. In Gard. Mag., vol. xi., varieties of camellia, 
by the following names, are mentioned as extant on the Continent, which, it seems, are not yet so 
in Britain: C. argéntea, in p. 265.; C. Gunnélli, in p. 543.; C. Pronayana, in p. 544.; and €. 
violacea supérba, in p. 544. 
The semidouble white was purchased in 1822, on the Continent, by Mr. Palmer, and is con- 
sidered a distinct variety ; but it has not yet flowered in England. The rose-coloured waratah was 
introduced, by the London Horticultural Society, from China, in 1824; but it has not yet flowered. 
C. j. hexanguliris, the hexangular-flowered Japancse Camellia, is a very singular variety, only 
known by the Chinese drawings in the possession of the London Horticultural Sociery, it not 
having been yet introduced. ‘There are, doubtless, other varieties in China; but, from our in- 
creased intercourse with that country, in consequence of the trade being thrown open, there can 
be no doubt that they will all, sooner or later, find their way into Britain. 
C. Varieties of Caméllia japonica originated in Britain. 
The varieties of the common camellia originated in Britain are exceed- 
ingly numerous. The first seeds ripened were those of C. j. anemoneflora, 
about the year 1818, in the Count de Vandes’s garden at Bayswater; and, 
subsequently, a great number of varieties have been raised by Messrs. Lod- 
diges; Messrs. Chandler, of the Vauxhall Road Nursery; Mr. Press, gar- 
dener to Edward Gray, Esq., at Harringay, Hornsey; and various other 
nurserymen and gardeners. In Sweet’s Hortus Britannicus, 2d edit., pub- 
lished in 1830, sixty-five sorts of camellias are enumerated; of which 
upwards of fifty are varieties of C. japonica. The following selection of 
these is taken from the Ji/lustrations of Booth and Chandler, already men- 
tioned; from the Gardener’s Magazine, and from Don’s Miller. 
Varieties raised in Britain that are figured and described in Chandler and 
Booth’s Ulustrations of the Camelliez. 
a C. j. 26 cordllina Chandl. Il). The coral-coloured-flowered J. C. — Figured in Chandl. Ji/., t. 
10., and Chandler’s Camellie Britannice, t. 5. A fine variety ; its habit, like that of the ~ 
waratah. Originated in 1819. Raised from seed by Messrs. Chandler of the Vauxhall 
Nursery. Price, in London, 7s. Gd. ; and at Bollwyller, 10 francs.
