OLIVE _sweet-scented_ with lanceolate serrated leaves, peduncles lateral, cluttered, one-flowered. _Stem_, a vast tree. _Branches_ both large and small trichotomous, faintly four-cornered and smooth. _Leaves_ growing cross-wise on leaf-stalks, oblong, acute, serrated, edge somewhat turned back, ribs parallel, reticulated, smooth above, of a deep green colour, paler beneath, spreading on the small branches, numerous, about the length of the finger. _Leaf-stalks_, flat on one side, round on the other, grooved, smooth, half the length of the finger nail. _Flower_ on the small branches in clustered umbels, about 6 or 8 together, standing on peduncles. _Flower-stalks_ filiform, one-flowered, smooth, whitish, a finger nail in length. _Perianthium_, one-leaved, very minute, faintly four-toothed, whitish and smooth. _Corolla_ of one petal, wheel-shaped, of a yellowish-white colour; _Tube_ scarce any; _Limb_ spreading, quadrifid, segments ovate, obtuse, concave, thickish. _Filaments_ two, inserted into the mouth of the tube, white, very short. _Antheræ_ ovate, somewhat large, double, yellowish. _Germen_ above, oblong, and smooth. _Style_ filiform. _Stigmata_, simple and pointed. Sir George Staunton, in his Embassy to China, Vol. II. p. 467, describes another Plant, whose flowers are used for the purpose of scenting Tea. The flower resembles the dog-rose, and the leaves those of Tea; hence the Chinese call it Cha-whaw, or flower of Tea. A Plate of this Plant is annexed, with the following description, which this very accurate and learned traveller has obligingly permitted me to introduce here. [Illustration: _Camellia Sesanqua._] “A Plant very like the Tea flourished at this time on the tides and the very tops of mountains, where the soil consisted of little more than fragments of stone crumbled into a sort of coarse earth by the joint action of the sun and rain. The Chinese call this plant Cha-whaw, or Flower of Tea, on account of the resemblance of one to the other; and because its petals, as well as the entire flowers of the Arabian jessamine, are sometimes mixed among the Teas, in order to increase their fragrance.
