224 Floricultural and Botanical J^otices 



2. C. j. var. Montgomery. — Another seedling of the C. 

 var. coccinea. It has rather broader fohage than its parent: 

 the flower is of a hght cherry red, with sixtee i large guard 

 petals, and twenty-six small ones; in flower similar to C. var. 

 carnea, though a freer flowerer; it has a number of anthers, 

 and an imperfect stile. Very good. 



3. C j. var. Seneca. — This was also raised from the coc- 

 cinea. Its foliage is rather narrower than the parent; the 

 flower is of a beautiful pale or light pink, with seventeen large 

 petals, with very few stamens, and an imperfect stile. Very 

 pretty. 



I have several more seedling camellias, which I expect will 

 bloom another winter. Should any of them prove valuable 

 varieties, I will send you a description of them in due season.
