M. Jacob Makoy, nurseryman, Liege, Belgium, has sent us, 

 through Mr. Garvie, foreman in the nursery of Messrs. Low 

 and Co., Clapton, a dried sprig bearing two leaves, a detached 

 dried leaf, and a dried flower, of a hybrid Camellm, obtained 

 from C. japonica var. insignis and C. euryoides as the parents. 

 M. Makoy deems the hybrid a very fine variety. In habit, it 

 assimilates much to C. euryoides : the leaves are ovate, acuminate, 

 serrate, and slightly pubigerous ; the sprig and buds densely 

 pubigerous ; the flower is 1 in. across (perhaps more), and has 

 five orbicular petals, which are centred by the cluster of sta- 

 mens. The petals in the dried state are buff-coloured, with a 

 deeper shade up the centre ; they might be, when living, white 

 tinted with red : nothing is stated respecting their colour.

Its beauty entitles it to a place in the flower-border. It 

 appears to come very near our native V. sylvatica [which we 

 think a plant of great elegance]. Perennial. Stems many, 

 climbing, 3 ft. to 6 ft. high. Leaves of about eight pairs of leaf- 

 lets. Flowers disposed, about twelve together, in stalked axil- 

 lary clusters. Corolla pale purple in the vexillum, nearly white 

 in the keel and wings. Seeds, in each legume, from fourteen to 

 twenty. It should be planted in a gravelly loam ; and is easily 

 multiplied by seeds, which it perfects abundantly. We would 

 recommend the seeds to be sown where the plant is intended to 

 remain, as few of the Leguminosae bear to be disturbed when 

 once planted. [We remember once seeing a stock of plants of 

 that beautiful common plant the everlasting pea (Z/athyrus lati- 

 folius) in the nursery of the Messrs. Fairbairn, Vauxhall, that
