Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Notes

Species listed in Paxton's and/or Johnson's Dictionary as introduced before 1857 are Allamanda verticillata, 1812; Allamanda paraensis, 1846; Allamanda paraguayensis, 1848, the latter two probably the same.  Macarthur’s plant may well be one or other of these.
