388 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART Ill- 
well, are very regularly formed, and of a fine rose colour ; they exceed 3 in. in diameter, 
and are little inferior in appearance to those of C. j. eximia, or of C. j. imbricata ; the petals 
being nearly as numerous, and arranged with equal symmetry. Raised from seeds of 
the waratah, by Mr. Chandler, in 1819. It possesses much beauty ; but its flowers are 
less brilliant than those of some others: it is not so well known as it should be. (ZiZ., t- 
34.) Price, in London, 10s. 6d.

J. C. — Figured in Chand), J/Z., t. 35. A much admired and most desirable variety. The 
flowers are of a brilliant red, 3 in. broad, very showy, and produced abundantly on both 
young plants and old ones. The petals are all deeply veined, and, though less numerous 
than in some varieties, are so arranged in the centre as to form flowers to all appear- 
ance perfectly double. The petals, also, are so remarkable for their roundness as to give 
the flowers a peculiar character ; by which the variety may be readily distinguished. 
The plant, in habit, is. similar to the single red (C. japénica Z.), but is stronger and 
more bushy ; the branches are upright and twiggy. Price,.in London, 5s. 
# C. j. 43 Rosa sinénsis Lodd. Bot. Cab. The Chinese Rose (? Hibiscus)-flowered J. C.— 
Figured in Lodd. Bot. Cab., t. 1455.,and Chandl. Z/Z., t. 36. This is a bold-flowering, 
freely blooming, first-rate variety. Its pale purplish red flowers are tolerably full of pe- 
tals, extremely handsome, 4 in. across, and bearing considerable resemblance to those of 
C. j. Glegans. It was raised by Mr. Chandler about 1819. Price, in London, 7s. 6d ; and 
at Bollwyller, 15 francs. 
% C. j. 44 Rossii Chandi. Ill., t. 37. Ross’s J. C. — Figured in Chandl JZ, t. 37., and 
described in that work. This is a desirable variety : it is briefly_described in Gard. 
Mag., vol. i. p. 211., under the name of Ross’s Camélléa gloridsa. The flowers are 
often 4in. in diameter; in form they resemble those of C, j. élegans; but in colour 
they are of a much darker and deeper red. 
a C. j. 45 Aitoni Chandi. Cam. Brit. Aiton’s J.C. Aiton’s large single red C.—Figured in 
Chandl. J/2., t. 38., and in Chandl. Cam. Brit., t. 3. It is a very striking variety, and @ 
most valuable one to the cultivator of camellias, on account of its producing seeds more 
freely than any other kind whatever. This and four others were raised at the Vauxhall 
Nursery, from seeds contained in one capsule of the pompone camellia, and sown in Nov.. 
1819. It was named in compliment to Mr. Aiton, the king’s gardener. (J#.) Price, in 
London, 7s. 6d.; and at Bollwyller, 50 francs. 
#% C. j. 46 epsoménsis Chandl. Il. The Epsom J. C., Young’s semidouble red C, — Figured 
in Chandl. Zi., t.40. Raised by Mr. Young of Epsom, previously to 1824. It is robust 
in habit ; its flowers are much like those of the semidouble red, but of a deeper colour, 
and with more petals. It is prone to vary in the number of petals: when they are nu- 
merous, some of the stamens are transformed into small, roundish, spathulate, striped, 
red petals, all of which, as well as the large outer ones, are. tolerably evenly arranged 
over one another, and distinctly marked with dark-coloured veins. The usual colour of 
the flowers is a deep red, approaching to scarlet, and their width about 3 in. (Zid).

m@ C. 7. 47 Colvtili Swt. Br. Fl.-Gard., 2ser. Colviil’s J. C. — Figured in Swt, Br. Fl.-Gard., 
2. s, t. 2., and described there ; whence it appears that its petals are striped like those of 
the carnation, and that, when Mr. Sweet wrote the description, published in June, 1829, 
he deemed it to be the finest and most beautiful variety that he had seen: this was pre- 
vious to the flowering of C. j. Sweet¢ana. G. Don has described C., j. Colvillz, as ** an 
elegant hybrid, with the petals regularly disposed, blotched with white on a red ground.”

m C. j. 48 Sweetiana Sw. Br. Fl.-Gard., 2. ser. Sweet’s J. C., Sweet’s painted-flowered C.— 
Figured in Swt. Br. F.-Gard, 2. s. t. 133.,in March,1832. The flower bears a strong 
resemblance to a beautiful variegated rose: it is generally very double, more spreading 
than that of many varieties, and elegantly marked and variegated with white, blush, and 
deep rosy red. It was the finest variety Mr. Sweet had seen, and one of numerous hybrid 
varieties that he had fertilised and raised from seeds, several years before (perhaps about 
1824), in the nursery of Mr Colvill. This was the offspring of the double-striped, fer- 
tilised hy the pompone: the foliage resembles most that of the latter, but the leaves are 
larger ; and the plant, if not seen in flower, might be mistaken for a strong-growing 
single-flowered one. Sweet’s camellia assimilates with Gray’s invincible; but its 
flower bud is larger, and its flower larger, and of a deeper colour, than those‘ of that 
variety.

its flowers as having a clear white ground, with pink stripes, and dotted all over with 
small dots : they are Jarge and beautiful ; and the variety was raised by Mr. Press, along 
with the varieties punctata, Rdsa mindi, Préss7i, and eclipsis, from seeds saved from a 
plant of Se semidouble red, the flowers of which had been fecundated with pollen of the 
single white.
