BROWALLIA- CAMELLIA JAPONICA. 83 



It is also called in different parts of France, Jonc Marin 

 [Sea-rush] ; Pore Marin [the Sea-hog] ; Lande Epmeme 

 [Thorny Heath]. Its botanical name is Ulex. 



BROWALLIA. 



BROWALLIEJE. DIDYNAMIA ANOIOSPERMIA. 



So named by Linnaeus, from Job Browallius, Bishop of A*boa. 

 French, Broualle. 



THIS is but an annual plant, and must be raised in 

 a hot-bed ; but it is worth procuring for its short-lived 

 beauty, on account of the extreme brilliancy of the colours. 

 " We cannot," says Mr. Curtis, " do justice to it by any 

 colours we have." There are but two kinds : the Upright, 

 and the Branching. The former is the handsomest. It 

 is a native of Peru, and flowers from July to September. 

 It should be kept within doors till June ; and, in dry and 

 hot weather, should be frequently, but sparingly, watered. 



CAMELLIA JAPONICA. 



CAMELLIADE^E. MONADELPHIA POLYANDRIA. 



So named in honour of Joseph Kamel, a Jesuit, whose name is 

 usually spelled Camellus. This tree is sometimes called Japan Rose. 



THIS beautiful evergreen must be sheltered from the 

 middle of September till the beginning of June. In the 

 summer, when the weather is dry, it should be watered 

 every evening, or second evening, according to the heat 

 of the sun : in the winter once a week will suffice, and 

 that should be at noon. There are double and single 

 varieties ; white, purple, and red of each. This tree has 

 the appearance of a bay bearing roses, much more than the 

 rhododendron, which, from some fancied resemblance of 

 that sort, is also named rose-ba.
