Chandlerii. — Flowers large, anemone-like, sometimes variegated, at other times plain red, fi-ee 
flowering. 
This elegant variety was, we understand, raised from seeds by Mr. Chandler, in 
1819. The flowers, as will be seen by our figure, are subject to sport a deal, 
sometimes producing flowers variegated, and very beautiful, at other times of a 
plain rich red, without any mark of white to be seen. The plant from which our 
drawing was taken produced only one variegated flower, which happening to be the 
first, we sent it to the engraver's, but the remaining flowers opening all plain red, 
we were induced to add one of the red flowers. 
It requires the same kind of treatment as the other species and varieties of 
Camellia, for which see vol. 1. page 33.
