March."] GREEN-HOUSE — REPOTTING. 215 
perfectly imbricated ; fine round petals, very regularly dis- 
posed; foliage dark green. One of the best of its colour. 
Magnificent. 
C. mutdbilis fraversii, foliage very large and almost cor- 
date ; plant of an elegant and free growth ; leaves rather 
reflexed, and of a lively green, nerves very conspicuous ; 
flower four inches and a half in diameter, regular, and very 
double ; it opens a delicate rose, and soon changes to a violet 
purple, shaded with a faint line of white ; a unique plant 
and flower. Magnificent. 
C. myrtifolia, known in our collections as involuta. 
There are two varieties of it, major and minor; the former 
is certainly the best, and has a very handsome, large, and 
regular red flower ; the centre frequently is pink and purple ; 
it is much the shape of double white, only the petals are 
more cupped. The flower is of considerable duration. The 
foliage, though small, is much larger than that of any of 
our common myrtles, which might make many mistake its 
character ; and another prominent feature is, the leaves are 
much recurved and shining ; plant pendulous, of a pale 
green. Magnificent. 
C. Madonna, very pure white, delicately striped with 
bright rose ; perfectly imbricated, and above medium size ; 
foliage dark shining green. Magnificent. 
C. Mis. Abby Wilder, white striped with pink; a regu- 
larly imbricated flower of fine formation ; foliage large, coarse, 
sickly green. Magnificent. 
C Miss Perclval, large flower, pure white, very fine when 
in bud, not fully double ; foliage dark shining green. Good. 
When we has T e the pleasure of giving a Camellia this name, 
it will be, in our estimation at least, without a fault. 
C. pazonlflbra : bright pink, large flower, fully four inches 
in diameter, two rows of circumference petals ; those of the 
centre numerous, very close, erect, and in the form of a 
sphere ; plant of a slender growth ; leaves two inches broad 
and three inches long, of a delicate green; Superb. 
C. Palmer's perfection, dark crimson, inclining to purple, 
very large, perfectly double, and of handsome form ; a free 
bloomer. Magnificent. 
C. Phlladelphlca (Smith's), flowers four and a half to 
five inches in diameter ; the circumference petals large and 
round ; those of the interior smaller with a little convexity,
