The Tree Pæony. 
...The above varieties, viz., Banksi, rosea, and papaveracea, are all that are described in Anderson's "Monograph of the Genus Pæonia", given in vol. vi. of the Horticultural Society's Transactions (1838), but in Loudon's "Arboretum Britannicum" (1854) a dozen are described, all bearing Latin names.  There are, besides the three just named, Humei, double blush; variegata, white streaked with violet and purple; rosea semi-plena, rosea plena, Rawesi, single pale pink; carnea plena, double flesh coloured; albida plena, double white, flushed with mauve; Anneslei, small single purplish pink; and lacera with the petals curiously cut into strips.  These nine varieties had probably all been raised from seed obtained from Banksi, rosea, and papaveracea, for at that time the Earl of Mountmorris, at Arley, and the Earl of Sandwich, at Hinchingbrooke, both took a great interest in the Tree Pæony, and raised several distinct sorts chiefly from the single papaveracea.

Paeonia Moutan; albida plena. Double-white Tree Paeony...
Garden Variety. This noble variety of the Tree Paeony was raised by the Earl of Mountnorris from seeds of P. papaveracea, saved at Arley Hall. It differs from the original in being semidouble, and in having narrower and more lacerated petals. Our plate was prepared from a drawing lent us by Lord Mountnorris, in whose possession the plant, we are informed, almost exclusively exists.

[From "On the Paeonia Moutan, or Tree Peony, and its varieties". By Joseph Sabine, Esq. F.R.S. &c. &c. Secretary. Read June 6, 1826, p. 465-492]

The seedlings which I mentioned at the commencement of this paper were raised in the Garden of the Earl of Mountnorris, at Arley Hall, in Worcestershire; the seeds were from the Banksii, and were sown seven years ago. In the year after they were sown, three plants came up. One is a very distinct variety; the two others approach each other so nearly, that they will not perhaps be considered sufficiently different to be separated, except by very nice observers. As the flowers of those now to be described are the first they have produced, it is probable that they will very much improve in size hereafter. The plant of Banksii, which produced the capsules from which the seeds were gathered, grew close to a Papaveracea; and from the characters of the flowers of their produce, I am disposed to think that they are derived from the pollen of the latter.

8. Paeonia Moutan Albida Plena. The petals of this are very pale, though not decidedly white ; the colour suffused into them is purplish. The germens are numerous, and are covered with a dark purple membrane, which continues to surround them, and does not burst. The blossoms of this were the largest of the two, and the plant seems to be altogether stronger, and more vigorous.
