very distinct from any other ; the petals are irregular, 

 anthers abundant, shape resembling pompone ; flower 

 not so large. 



C. heterophylla. The foliage of this varies very 

 much, a character that none of the others possess; 

 flower double red ; and merits a place in collections. 



C. Woodsii, flower fine double, rose colour; and 

 much has been said in its favour. 



C. bicolor, a single flower, with a rose ground and 

 white streaks, very pretty, but not so large as many of 

 the single ones. 



C. speciosa is a most splendid variety, has been called 

 China striped Waratah. The guard petals are large, 

 round, and bold; colour red with stripes of white; the 

 centre is full of small petals, (like anemoneflora^) and 

 spotted ; the foliage large and more heart-shaped than 

 any of the others; grows freely, flower persistent, 

 highly esteemed, and considered one of the finest of 

 the coloured Camellias. 



C. fulgens, flower large, and very bright double red, 

 approaching to C. atro-rubens, but more brilliant; foliage 

 a lucid green, very smooth, young wood and wood 

 buds have a red appearance. We have no doubt but 

 it will seed ; if so, it will be a first rate breeder. 



C. grandiflora, a very large single rich red flower, fo- 

 liage very large ; a most splendid single variety, and 

 grows freely. It is recommended to all who wish to 

 improve their collections by raising new varieties. 



C. rosa sinensis, a very large double flower, colour 

 bright pink, petals long and full, a very distinct variety,
