J^otices of neiv and beautiful Plants. 293 



When the plants are taken out in spring, head them down, 

 and this will cause them to throw out strong new shoots ; they 

 may also, if wintered in small pots, be repotted into a larger 

 size. For the parlor no plant is better adapted ; and the de- 

 lightful odor of its foliage, combined with its pretty habit, render 

 it at once attractive. Yours,

 japonica var. Poncltelat'ri. Donckelaei's Japan Camellia. A splendid green-house shrub ; growing 

 six to eight feet hiffh ; with varie;;ated while and red flowers; appearing from February to April ; 

 propagated by grafting and inarching; introduced to Holland from China. Cot. Reg., 1854. 



This is a new and splendid variety of this magnificent tribe, 

 which is said to have been lately brought to Holland by Dr. 

 Siebold, where it flowered, we believe, for the first time, in 

 1834. The flower is not very double, from the representation 

 of the plate, but the petals are of a rich crimson color, beauti- 

 fully blotched and spotted with white, something in the style of 

 Chandleri. It is stated to be a genuine Japanese variety. The 

 drawing was taken from specimens communicated by Mr. Lowe 

 of Clapton, in whose estabhshment it flowered the past winter : 

 he probably has plants for sale. [Bot. Reg., May.)
