 in /}ot. Hep., t. 559. The flowers consist of from 6 to VI large roundish petals, 

 in a single or double series, with a column of stamens in the centre : they are of a 

 rich rose colour. Introdiiced in 1808. Middlemist's red camellia so closely resembles 

 this Eort as hardly to be distinguishable from it. 

 96 C, j. 14 alro-ri(bcns Bot. C^ab. The dark )r'f/-flowered Japanese Ca- 

 wcllia, Loddiges's red CamcUia. — Figured in Lodd. Bot. Cab., t. 170. ; 

 and Chandl. ///., t. 2.5. This is a very beautiful variety, and a vi- 

 gorously growing one. It is always among the latest 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 sliowy. They 

 are not so large as in some of the other varieties ; but they liave 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, £>s. ; 

 and at BoUwyller, 5 francs.

 wliite Moutan Camellia. — Figured in Bot. Reg., t. 708. The flowers, 

 which have been compared to those of lTardem« florida, are of a 

 yellowish-white colour, rather delicate, and they do not open very 

 freely. The flowers are from 3 in. to 3A in. in diameter. In Messrs. 

 Ciiandler and Booth's account of this variety, published Feb., 1831, 

 it is characterised as very diflerent from any other white-flowered 

 kind, and as being of robust habit, and remarkable for the convexity 

 of itsfohage. Introduced by Captains Welbank and Rawts in 1820. 

 Price, in London, .5.v. ; and at BoUwyller, 10 francs.

 « C. j. 17 specibsa Hort. Trans. The showy Japanese Camellia, Rawes's 

 variegated Waratah Camellia. Camellirt Ravves2V/?ifl Hort. — Figured 

 m Chandl. ///., t. 32. An extremely handsome variety, with 

 flowers of a deeper red than either those of C. atro-riibens or 

 the waratah. They open very regularly, and, when expantled, 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, who 

 presented it to his relation, T. C. Palmer, Esq., Brondey, Kent. 

 Price, in London, lOi. Qd.; and at BoUwyller, 30 francs.

 Camellia, rose-co'.oured Camellia.— Figured in Bot. Keg., 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 thciii have, more or less, a small white- 

 coloured stripe down their centre. The stamens are generally all changed into petals, 

 and the whole flower resembles a full-blown rose. Introduced in 1808.
