perfectly double, colour changeable, bright crimson, spotted 
with white; dark rose, fading to the centre, or all crimson; 
even the same plant producing all the variety ; plant of an 
upright branching habit ; leaves ovate, acuminate, of me- 
dium size, and a very dull dark green ; bloomed first in 
1834, when only two years from the seed, and the flower 
was then four and three-quarter inches in diameter. Magni- 
ficent. 
C. picturdta ; leaves three and a half inches wide, and 
four and a half inches long, of a bright green ; flower four 
inches in diameter; spherical and extremely double ; petals 
of the centre irregular and closely folded : those of the peri- 
phery or circumference round and entire, of a pure white, 
occasionally striped with red — a few hidden stamens — plant 
of an elegant habit. Magnificent. 
C. ppmponia, or Kew blush, flowers over four inches in 
diameter ; white, with a tinge of blush at the bottom of the 
petals, which has a good effect in setting off the flower. 
They frequently bloom all blush, having one or two rows 
of guard or outside petals ; those of the inside are short, 
stubby, and generally irregular ; continues long in flower ; 
yellow anthers among the short petals, and seeds when the 
female organ is perfect; foliage similar to pazonijlora ; a very 
fast grower, and flowers freely. Superb. 
C. Pratt ii ;* flower bright rose, full four inches in diame- 
ter, frequently every petal having a white stripe from the 
apex to the base, very closely and regularly imbricated to 
the very centre : in every respect equally as well-formed as 
C. imbricata ; leaves two and a half inches wide and four 
inches long, of a rich smooth green — is a plant of free 
growth and profuse flowering; bloomed first in 1836. With 
pleasure, we say it is our first seedling of merit. Magnifi- 
cent. 
C. punctata, see Invincible.
