Notes on Flowers and Flowering Plants.
Pæonia Moutan, var. picta (painted Moutan(.—Ranunculaceæ . Helleboreæ.—This is a very handsome variety of the well-known Pæonia Moutan, or tree pæony. Its habit is the same; the segments of the leaves are narrower than in some varieties, of a dull bluish-green; the flowers are semidouble, the ground colour light rose, streaked stained and veined with rich deep rose toward the edges; the petals are rather ragged at the edges, something in the way of our parrot tulips. Native of China. Introduced in 1844. Flowers in May. Culture.—Almost hardy; is the better for a little protection in spring; rich sandy loam; propagated by grafting on the roots of P. albiflora, or by division.

Mr. Fortune's Moutan Pæonies,
One of these flowered in 1847, and has already been mentioned at p. 308 of the Journal for 1847, under the name of picta. In the present season several others have blossomed, with the following result:
7. P. Moutan lilacina. Received in April, 1845 (No. 353), and in May, 1846 (No. 621), marked "said to be blue". This much resembles the P. Moutan Banksii in the form of the flowers and in foliage; but the flowers are more double, and are shaded with a deeper lilac or purple. They are well filled up in the centre with small petals, which are deeper in colour than the outer ones. It is a nice variety, although not strikingly different from P. Moutan Banksii.

6. P. Moutan globosa. Two plants of this came from Shanghae in April 1845 (Nos. 359 and 362). It is a fine, large, round, white kind, with the base of the petals stained with large blotches of deep purple. The flowers are perfectly double, but are otherwise those of P. Moutan papaveracea. It is one of the finest of Moutans both in size and form.

5. P. Moutan parviflora. Received April, 1845, as a variety from Shanghae (No. 357). In flowers this sort resembles the P. Moutan rosea, but is much smaller, and of a very pale rose colour. The flowers are a good double, the centre being filled up with small narrow petals. In foliage it also resembles the Moutan rosea, but is a much hardier kind It is very pretty when first expanded, but loses its distinctness as the flowers fade.
