 two feet high ; flowers rosy red ; propagated like the other varieties ; a seedlint? ; originated 

 in England. Bot. Reg., t. 1771. 



A great addition to this mag-nificent genus, " Raised from 

 the seed of Pseonia moutan, by Mr. William Hyland, gar- 

 dener to the Earl of Sandwich, at Hinchinsrbrook, near 

 Huntingdon," and " flowered for the first time in April, 1834, 

 when the plant was only three years old." Mr. Hyland 

 states, that the seed did not germinate until eighteen months 

 after they were sown; and that this is the case with all the 

 moutan species. The petals are much cut and gashed, and 

 distinctly bordered with a narrow edge of carmine: it is alto- 

 gether a superb variety. {Bot. Reg., July.)

Camellia japonica var. Julianii, one of the kinds mentioned 

 at page 343, is figured in the Floricultural Cabinet for Jvdy; 

 if it is as regular in its form as represented in the plate, it is 

 a splendid acquisition. C. japonica var. Cunninghamii,is 

 figured in Paxton's Magazine of Botany for the same month; 

 raised from the warratah, impregnated with the double stri- 

 ped: some of the flowers are almost white, and others 

 entirely a rich crimson.

 delicate rose color ; " a desirable plant for a conservatory," 

 flowering copiously throughout spring and summer. The 

 plants should be fully exposed to the light. It is a native of 

 the swamps in the neighborhood of Botany Bay. The seeds 

 were introduced in 1817, to the Kew gardens. {Bot. Mag.,
