222 GREEN-HOUSE REPOTTING. [March. 



C. Landrethia, or Jacksonia, very beautiful pink, fading 

 to the centre, a perfectly double and finely imbricated 

 flower, about four inches in diameter, a free bloomer, and 

 a plant of good habit ; leaves ovate, acuminate, pale green. 

 We have seen the flower profusely spotted with white. 

 This elegant Camellia was grown from seed by D. and C. 

 Landreth, and bloomed first in the spring of 1829. Mag- 

 nificent. 



C. latifolia, leaves three inches wide and four inches and 

 a half long, point recurved, a fine glossy green ; flower 

 cherry red, cup form, interior petals irregular, festooned 

 and curled, those of the exterior bold and round, about 

 three inches and a half in diameter. Superb. 



C. minuta, plant vigorous, leaves nearly orbicular, and 

 three inches and a half long, very shining and nerved flower 

 three inches in diameter, of a beautiful cherry red, petals 

 regularly imbricated, and arranged into a vase form; the 

 centre is of a vivid red. Superb. 



C. mutdbilis traversii, foliage very large and almost cor- 

 date, plant of an elegant and free growth, leaves rather 

 reflexed and of a lively green, nerves very conspicuous, 

 flower four inches and a half in diameter, regular, and very 

 double : it opens a delicate rose, and soon changes to a vio- 

 let purple, shaded with a faint line of white, an unique 

 plant and flower. Magnificent. 



C. myrtifolia, known in some collections as involuta. 

 There are two varieties of it, major and minor; the former 

 is certainly the best, and has a very handsome, large and 

 regular red flower ; the centre frequently is pink and pur- 

 ple ; it is much the shape of double white, only the petals 

 are more cupped. The flower is of considerable duration. 

 The foliage, though small, is much larger than that of any 

 of our common mystics, which might make many mistake 

 its character ; and another prominent feature is, the leaves 

 are much recurved and shining ; plant pendulous, of a pale 

 green. Magnificent. 



C. nivalis, flower large white, very pure, having three 

 rows of large round exterior petals, the centre irregularly 

 filled with small petals, showing a considerable quantity of 

 stamens, foliage very dark green, plant of a good habit, 

 and will make an excellent variety for producing new sorts. 

 Superb.
