A new presumptive variety of CAMELLIA japonica; a spe- 
cies already known in our collections under so many beau- 
tiful appearances. ‘The introduction of the present, we un- 
derstand, is due to Lady Long, the daughter of the late 
Lady Amelia Hume, whose attachment to her garden has 
enriched our collections with the fine variety of this spe- 
cies published in the second volume of this Register (112), 
as well as many of the rarest and most ornamental plants. 
Involuta is not only a very handsome flower, but cu- 
rious for the inflexion of the petals. It was supposed to 
be the same with a variety known through the medium of 
Chinese drawings, and named by our florists C. japonica: 
var. hexangularis; which now is however admitted to be 
different, and nearer to the Red myrtle-leaved variety. 
The drawing was taken in the Conservatory at Sir 
Charles Long’s, Bromley Hill, Kent.
