flower of this is of great size, and the delicate pencilling of 

 the petals, together with the singular boldness of the an- 

 thers, render it a beautiful specimen of a single flower; 

 and its tendency to produce seed far exceeds any other Ca- 

 mellia I am acquainted with. 



Came Ilia fulgena, or Fulgent Flowered. 

 Camellia wooden, or Wood's Sufierb. 

 Camellia ivarratah-ro'sea^ or Rose Coloured Warratah. 

 This has light red Anemone shaped flowers. 



Camellia coccinea^ or Double Scarlet. This has exceed- 

 ingly fine foliage, which resembles that of the Striped. It 

 produces flowers wholly scarlet, and others very finely varie<- 

 gated, on the same plant. 



Camellia conchiflora, or Shell Flowered. This has flowers 

 which greatly resemble the preceding, and it also produces 

 in like manner plain red and variegated ones on the same 

 plant. It is, however, distinguished by its foliage, which 

 somewhat resembles that of the Common Single Red. 



Camellia sasanqua-rosea, or Double Roue Coloured Sa- 

 sanqua. This has exceedingly beautiful blush coloured 

 flowers, which are full double, and about the size of a dol- 

 lar ; it blooms with great profusion, and is one of those most 

 highly admired ; the leaves are small, and it forms a hand- 

 some compact plant of moderate size. 



Camellia fimbriata, or Double Fringed White. The 

 flowers of this are about the size of the Common White, and 

 they are beautifully fringed on the edges, which causes it to 

 form a striking contrast to all the other varieties. It differs 

 also in the period of its flowering, which is in September 

 and October. 



Came Ilia axillaris^ or Axillary Flowered. This has larger 

 leaves than any of the others, which are very showy and in- 

 dented on the edges; the flowers are also produced differ- 

 ently from the others, and come cut at the axils of the leaves. 

 Camellia oleifera, or OH Bearing. This has small foliage 

 and delicate single white flowers. 



Camellia Greviltiii or Gre-ville's Red. This is of a much 

 more brilliant colour than the Common Red, and approaches 

 a scarlet. 



Camellia alba-simftlici^ or Single White.-**- This has large 

 flowers of a very pleasant fragrance and fine appearance. 



Camellia myrtifolia, or Myrtle Leaved. This has small 

 foliage, and fine double rose coloured flowers, the petals of 

 which are retiexed. It has a pleasant fragrance.
