tire, glabrous; flowers solitary, lateral. h. S. Native of 
Africa, on the coast of Zanquebar. C. Zanquebárica, Lour. coch. 
p. 195. Flowers pale. This plant agrees with the present 
genus in the calyx being 6-cleft, in the corolla being 6-lobed, in 
the stamens being 6, and in the capsule being 6-celled; but 
differs in the capsule dehiscing at the base, not at the apex, in 
the flowers being lateral, and in the leaves being alternate. 
Zanquebar Canarina. Shrub climbing. 
; Cult. C. campanuldta is- very desirable, as it flowers 
in autumn and winter, when few other plants are in bloom. 
After flowering the stem dies down, and the root continues dor- 
mant all the summer, when it needs but little water. When the 
stem begins to push forth the plants had better be removed to the 
stove, as they will not flower so abundantly in the green-house. 
A light loamy soil, or a mixture of loam and peat, is the best 
soil for it; and the plant is readily increased by dividing at the 
root or by cuttings, planted in the same kind of soil under a 
hand-glass. The C. Zanguebdrica being a stove shrub will 
grow in the same kind of soil recommended for the first species, 
and will be easily increased by cuttings.

Cult, These species of Platycddon are neat elegant plants 
when in blossom. They do best in pots in a mixture of sand 
and peat, placed among other alpine plants; they will also 
grow very well planted in a peat border. We know of no way 
of increasing them but by seeds.

at the apex; cells alternating with the calycine segments and 
stamens. Seeds ovoid, small, shining, but not angular.—Humble 
annual herbs, natives of the Cape of Good Hope. Leaves 
alternate or nearly opposite, small, narrow, sessile: superior 
ones rather the longest. Branches at the base of the plant oppo- 
site and diverging. Flowers almost sessile. Tube of calyx 
spherical and very hairy.

Cult. The seeds of these plants should be raised on the hot- 
bed; and when the plants are of sufficient size they may be 
planted out into the open border in May in a warm sheltered 
situation.
