March.'] GREEN-HOUSE REPOTTING. 227 



C. Walbdnkiana; foliage pale green, two inches broad 

 and nearly four inches long ; plant of rather loose habit ; 

 flower greenish white, full four inches in diameter; petals 

 large and oval, irregularly tufted, showing a number of 

 stamens, though very double. We are inclined to believe 

 that this is the lutea alba of some catalogues. Superb. 



C. Wdrdii; very dark green foliage; leaves rather 

 cordate and undulate, of a coriaceous texture ; plant of a 

 branching stiff habit ; flower full three inches in diameter, 

 very persistent circumference petals large and round ; 

 those of the interior small, round, and closely set, rather 

 flattened, colour vivid crimson. This fine variety is another 

 by Mr. Floy, of New York. Superb. 



C. PFoodsii; foliage light green; leaves two inches wide 

 and four inches long ; plant of a rapid growth and regular 

 shape ; flower four and a half inches in diameter, of a bright 

 rose-colour ; petals large and rounding in the periphery ; 

 those of the centre rather irregular perfectly double, and- 

 blooms with difficulty. We have observed it to bloom 

 finest when a gentle heat was applied, or when the plant 

 flowered in March or April. Magnificent. (Soil No. 11 

 for the whole family.) 



There is another Camellia named Woodiana, with foliage 

 very similar to the former, but the flower is cherry red and 

 only semi-double. We beg to observe that, in giving de- 

 scriptions of the camellia, we have invariably, as far as 

 known, described the best variety, where there were several 

 varieties under one name. The new varieties in this beau- 

 tiful family of plants are increasing with astonishing rapi- 

 dity. The seedlings of this country alone, would of them- 

 selves form a collection of every shade and colour, though 

 many of them are almost alike, especially among the whites 

 and reds nearly fac-similes except in foliage. The de- 

 scription of such we have carefully avoided. Indeed, we 

 boldly assert, though an extensive cultivator of over two 

 hundred varieties, that there are not more than one hun- 

 dred varieties known worthy of a passing remark, except 

 for their deformed character. 



Carmichselia austrdlis, the only species, has very curi- 

 ous foliage, which the lilac legurhinose flowers come out 

 of, and continue from April to June. (Soil No. 6.) 



Ceanothus azureus is the only species of the genus
