* C. j. l.j sciiii'dufj/ex Bot. Rep. The seniitltiuble-Qovrered Japanese Camellia. Figured

 in a single or double series, with a column of stamens in the centre : they are of a 

 rich rose colour. Introduced in 1S()S. Middlemist's red camellia so closely resembles

* C. j. 14- (itro-riibcns Bot. Cab. The dark /YY/-flowered Japanese Ca- 



mellia, Loddiges's red Camellia. Figured in Lodd. BoL Cab., t. 170. ; 

 and Chandl. ///., t. 25. This is a very beautiful variety, and a vi- 

 gorously growing one. It is always among the latest in coining 

 into blossom, the flowers opening at about the same time as those of 

 the waratah camellia. The plants have an erect fastigiate habit, 

 and the flowers are of a deep scarlet, and are very showy. They 

 are not so large as in some of the other varieties ; but they have a 

 marked appearance from the middle of the flower being filled with 

 small petals, which project so as to overtop the others. Imported 

 by Messrs. Loddiges, from China, in 1809. Price, in London, 5*. ; 

 and at Bollwyller, 5 francs.

 Camellia. C. j. liiteo-albicans Bot. Reg., t. 708. ; C. j. flavescens ; and 

 white Moutan Camellia. Figured in Bot. Reg., t. 708. The flowers, 

 which have been compared to those of GardenzVz florida, are of a 

 yellowish-white colour, rather delicate, and they do not open very 

 freely. The flowers are from 3 in. to 3| in. in diameter. In Messrs. 

 Chandler and Booth's account of this variety, published Feb., 1831, 

 it is characterised as very different from any other white-flowered 

 kind, and as being of robust habit, and remarkable for the convexity 

 of its foliage. Introduced by Captains Welbank and Rawes in 1820. 

 Price, in London, 5s.; and at Bollwyller, 10 francs. 



C. j. 16 rosea Don's Mill. The ro.s^-flowered Japanese Camellia. The

* C. j. 17 speciosa Hort. Trans. The showy Japanese Camellia, Rawes's

 in Chandl. ///., t. 32. An extremely handsome variety, with 

 flowers of a deeper red than either those of C. atro-rubens or 

 the waratah. They open very regularly, and, when expanded, are 

 usually 4 in. in diameter. Nearly the whole of the petals have a 

 little white stripe at their base, and some of them are variegated; 

 all of them are disposed hi the same manner us those of the 

 waratah. It was imported by Captain Richard Rawo.s in 1S;'4, who 

 presented it to his relation, T. C. Palmer, Esq., Bromley, Kent. 

 Price, in London, 10s. 6d. ; and at Bollwyller, 50 francs.
