380 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 
Mill., i. p. 576.) Introduced from China in 1824, and still scarce and high- 
priced. The plant is of vigorous growth, and appears as hardy as any of 
the other species and varieties. It is generally propagated by inarching on 
the common species. It appears to flower rather later than C. japénica; 
and, when it becomes more frequent, it will probably, on that account, be 
found well adapted for the open air, or a conservative wall. Messrs. 
Chandler and Booth express themselves of opinion that “it will be found to 
be hardier than the C. japénica, and that at no distant period, perhaps, it 
may ornament our shrubberies.”” There are stools of it in a cold-pit, in 
the Vauxhall Nursery, where plants cost a guinea and a half each.

Branches and petioles pubescent. Ovary smooth. (Don’s 
Mill.,i. p. 576.) Introduced from China, in 1816, by 
Captain Richard Rawes, into the garden of T. C. Pal- 
mer, Esq., at Bromley, in Kent, where it flowered in 
1818, and was afterwards published in the Botanical 
Magazine as a variety of C. Sasdnqua. An elegant 
shrub, with a slender fastigiate habit of growth, and a 
very free flowerer. It seldom exceeds 8 ft. in height ; 
but, in the flowering season, its numerous semidouble 
apple-blossom-like flowers are extremely beautiful. The ao 
leaves are obovate, and thinner, and of a smaller size, than those of C. ja- 
pénica, or any of its varieties. It is propagated by inarching on the single 
red, or by layers. Though this species will stand against a wall with very 
little protection, yet, to grow it properly, and to flower it in the best man- 
ner, it requires a little more heat than C. japonica and its varieties. In 
the Vauxhall Nursery there are stools of it in cold-pits. Price of plants, in 
London, 5s. each. ;

Spec. Char., 5c. Leaves ovate-oblong, serrated. 
Flowers terminal and axillary, solitary. Branches 
and ovary villous. (Don’s Mill.,i. p.576.) _ In- 
troduced by Captain Wellbank, of the East India 
Company’s service, in 1811. It forms a loose strag- 
gling bush when left unsupported, seldom rising 
higher than 3 ft. or 4 ft.; but, when tied to a stake, 
attaining the height of 6 ft. or 8 ft. It produces 
its white flowers in November and December, 
which very much resemble those of the tea tree. 
It is extensively cultivated in China, for the same 
object as C. oleifera; that is, for crushing the seeds 
for oil, and using the leaves for adulterating tea. In China, it is said to 
grow on the debris of rocks and stones: here it succeeds best in moderately 
strong, rich, sandy soil, and is readily increased by inarching or grafting on 
C, japénica.
