 and are liltli- inferior in appearance to those of C. j.cxfmia, or of C. j. imbricMa ; thc|)etal»

 the warat-ili. by Mr. Chandler, in 1819. It possesses much beauty; but its flowers arc 

 le>s brilliant than those of so'iie others : it is not so well known as it should be. (III., t.

J. C. — Kigured in Chandl. I/i.,t.:i!i. A much admired and most desirable variety. The 

 flowers are of a brilliant red, ;> in. broad, very showy, and produced abundantly on botl> 

 young plants and old ones. The petals are all deeply veined, and, thouph less numerous 

 than in some varieties, are so arranged in the centre as to fnnn flowers to all appear- 

 aiK-c i>erfectly 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. japonica L.), but is stronger and 

 more bushy ; the branches arc upright and twiggy. Price, in I>ondon, 'a.

 freely blooming, lirst.rate variety Its pale purplish red flowers are tolerably full of pe- 

 tals, extremely hamlsomc, i in across, and bearing couiiderable resemblance to those of 

 C. j. elcgans. ' It was raised by Mr. Chandler about 1819. Price, in I.«ndon, 'is. 6d ; and

• C. J. 44 liSssW Chandl. III., t. 37 Ross'.i J. C. — Figured in Chandl. ///., t. 37., and 



described in that work. This is a desirable variety : it is briefly described in Gard. 

 Mag., vol. L p. 211., \nider the name of Koss's Camtll/a gloriOsa. The flowers are 

 often 4 in. in diameter; in form they resemble those of C. j. elegans; but in colour 

 they are of a much darker and deeper red.

 most valuableone to the cultivator of camellias, on account of its producing see»ls more 

 freely than any otiicr kind whatever. This and four others were raised at the V'auxhall 

 Nurserv, from seeds contained in one capsule of the pompone camellia, and sown in Nov

• C. y. 46 epsomensis Chandl. 111. The Epsom J. C , Young's semidoablc red C. — Figured 



in Chandl. ///., t. 4fi. Raised by Mr. Young of Epsom, previously to 18^4. It is robust 

 in habit ; its flowers arc 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, stri|>ed, 

 red petals, all of which, as well as tlic 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 .5 in. (.///,.

'.'. s. t. y., and describeil 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 de<'me<l it to be the (inest and most beautiful variety that he had seen : this was pre- 

 vious to the flowering of C. j. Sweet/ann. Ci. Don has described C. j. ColvilliV, as " an 

 elegant hvlirid, with the petals regularly disposed, blotched with white on a red ground."

• C. j. 48 .Sweet'Ana Sw. Br. Fl.-Gard., 2. ser. Stveel's J. C, Sweet's painted-flowered C. — 



Figured in Swt. Br. Fl.-Gard , 2. s. t. 13.3., in March, 1832. The flower bears a strong 

 resemblance to a beautiful variegated ro.«e : it is generally very double, more spreading 

 than that of many varieties, and elegantly marked and variegated with white, blush, and 

 deep rosv red. It was the finest variety Mr. .Sweet had seen, ami one of numerous hybrid 

 varieties that he had fertilise<l and rai'-ed from seeds, several years before (perhaps about 

 1H'J4', in the nursery of Mr Colvill. This was the offspring of the double-stripeil, fer- 

 tilised by the pompone: the foliage resembles most that of the latter, but the leaves arc 

 larger ; and the plant, if not seen in flower, might be mistaken for a strong-growing 

 single.flowcrcd 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.
