BEEBEEIS WALLICHIANA, DC. 



Syns. B. Jainesoni, Hort. (non Lindl.). 

 Bot. Mag. t. 4656 ; Paxt. Fl. Gdn. vol. i. pp. 12 and 79, fig. 



Originally detected in Nepal by Dr. Wallich, after whom it is named, 

 and sent for cultivation through Thomas Lobb, and shortly afterwards by 

 Dr. Hooker, from the Eastern Himalaya. 



CAMELLIA GEIJSII, Hance. 



A Camellia closely allied to the attractive little Japanese species, 

 C. Sasanqua, inhabiting the glens and gorges of the Yangtsze and its 

 chief tributaries at elevations of 1,000-2,000 ft. 



An attractive shrub, seldom exceeding 5 ft. in height, with neat 

 lanceolate-acuminate shining leaves and ivory-white flowers 1 to 1| in. 

 in diameter, produced abundantly in the early spring, and at intervals 

 till late in autumn. 



Introduced to cultivation through Wilson from Central China in 1901. 



CAMELLIA SASANQUA, Thunb. 



The Garden, 1893, vol. xliv. p. 328, pi. 930 ; Bot. Mag. i. 5152. 



There are several forms of this beautiful Camellia in a wild state, and 

 numerous garden varieties. 



Long known in gardens, having been introduced by the East India 

 Company in the early part of the 18th century, it appears to have been 

 subsequently lost to British horticulture till re-introduced from Japan 

 through Charles Maries. 



CARYOPTERIS MASTACANTHUS, Schaucr. 



Syns. Nepeta incana, Thuub. 



The Garden, 1883, vol. xxiv. p. 523, with fig. ; Bot. Mag. t. 6799; Gard. Chron. 1884, 

 vol. xxi. p. 148, fig. 30 ; Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1846, t. 2 ; La Belg. Hort. 1893, p. 273, 

 col. pi. 



Caryopteris Mastacanthus was first sent to this country by Fortune 

 who found it wild near Canton. 



First cultivated as a greenhouse plant, it was discarded for more showy 

 occupants, and not being perfectly hardy was ultimately lost to cultiva- 

 tion. 



For its re-introduction we are indebted to Charles Maries, who sent 

 seed from China.
