rounded by long narrow permanent bracts, which usually 
have one or more oval glandular spaces on their surface ; the 
calyx is not enlarged, but its teeth are extended into long 
narrow tongues. In foliage, in resembles C. trichotomum, 
but its inflorescence and calyx are quite dissimilar. It may 
be called C. glandulosum, and thus defined. 
C. glandulosum ; foliis subrotundo-ovatis basi truncatis v. 
parüm cordatis pilosiusculis esquamatis subdentatis, pa- 
niculä densä capitatä, bracteis lineari-lanceolatis calyce 
longioribus dorso glandulà una alteräve pellucida im- 
mersa notatis, calycis 5-fidi laciniis acuminatis, corolle 
laciniis oblongis reflexis staminibus brevioribus, stylo 
longissimo. 
The singular name C. infortunatum originated with 
Linnzus, who called another species fortunatum, and another 
calamitosum. According to De Theis this was in consequence 
of C. fortunatum being useful in medicine, while C. infortu- 
natum and calamitosum are dangerous. 
The plant before us is a truly splendid species, and will 
be a great addition to a Botanical collection, as it is a very 
free-growing plant. 
It is a stove shrub, which will succeed best from a cutting 
struck in autumn, and kept in an intermediate house until 
the beginning of February, when it should be repotted and 
induced to grow. The soil should consist of peat and sandy 
loam, and if a mixture of well decomposed cow-dung is added 
so much the better. In the summer season an ample supply 
of water should be given, and the atmosphere kept as moist 
as possible. This plant differs from many others in not re- 
quiring to be topped ; nor does it need to be grown in a high 
temperature, which is apt to render it tall and unsightly.
