 Named Waratah from the resemblance of 

 the flower to that of the Telopea spe- 

 ciosissima, or waratah plant. This is one 

 of the most singular, as well as the most 

 beautiful, varieties: the flowers resemble, 

 those of a double poppy anemone (y/ne- 

 mone coronaria), having the exterior petals 

 of the usual form, and the centre ones 

 narrow ami numerous ; they are 3 in. or 

 4 in. in diameter, and of a deep antl brilliant scarlet colour. Price,

 are rather smaller than in most of the other varieties, and the flowers 

 large in proportion to them, being about 3 in. in diameter. The 

 plant is somewhat slentler in growth, but flowers freely. Supposed 

 to have been imported in 1808, for the Kew Garden. Price, in Lon-

a C. j. 12 Pomponia Bot. Reg. The Pomjyone Japanese Camellia, the 

 Kew Blush Camellia. — Figured in Bot. Reg., t. 22. ; and Chandl. 

 ///., t. 9. The name appears to be derivetl from some fancied re- 

 semblance of the flowers to the French head-dress called apompone. 

 The petals are delicate in their texture, and, when fully expanded, 

 the flowers are just 4 in. across. The colour of the petals is pure 

 white, except for about a third of their length nearest the base, 

 which is deeply tinged with red, of which there is a small stripe up 

 the centre. Introduceil in 18 10. This variety is very hardy ; plants
