100 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
Caffeillo. See Drypetes alba and D, glauca, 
Evidently another spelling of ‘* cafetillo.”” According to Captain Hansard 
caffeillo is a wood having a specific gravity of 0.85 and is not much used. The 
flowers are fragrant. 
Cafetillo. See Casearia nitida and Faramea odoratissiima, 
A tree from the interior of the island; height, 30 to 35 feet (9 to 11 meters); 
diameter, 15 inches (37 centimeters). Wood yellowish, hard; specific gravity 
0.840; used for lumber. (Grosourdy, 2: 868.) (Exp. 1857.) 
Caillo. 
Probably intended for ‘‘cadillo.”” At Santurce Corchorus hirsutus and 
Xanthiwn canadense, and at Quebrada Arenas Triumfetta semitriloba were 
called ** caillo.”’ 
Caimitillo. See Chrysophyllim monopyrenum and C, glabrion, 
A tree from all parts of the island; height, 20 to 25 feet (6 to 8 meters); diame- 
ter, 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 centimeters). Wood, white, hard; specific gravity, 
0.012 (1.0127); used in making laths. (Exp. 1857.) 
Captain Hansard says that the wood is used for shingles and barrel staves. The 
tree is similar to the star-apple or caimito, but the fruit is only half the size. 
Grosourdy gives this as the common name in Porto Rico and Cuba of Chryso- 
phytlum microphylla and C. oliviforme. Both of these names are treated as 
synonyms of C. monopyreniwun and C. caimito. He describes it as a tree growing 
wild and reaching 40 to 45 feet (12 to 14 meters) in height, with a trunk 18 to 20 
inches (45 to 50 centimeters) in diameter. Furnishes a wood of good weight and 
more than ordinary durability, rather compact and fibrous in texture and rather 
fine-grained. Dirty white in color or sometimes somewhat chocolate. The wood 
is used ordinarily for shingles and bowls. It might also be used for carpenter 
work. (Grosourdy, 2: 368.) 
Caimito. See Chrysophylliom cainito, 
A tree from all parts of the island; height 30 to 35 feet (9 to 11 meters); diame- 
ter 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 centimeters). Wood, violet; hard; specific gravity, 
0.194; little used. (Exp. 1857.) 
Cainito. See Chrysophyllion cainito, 
According to Captain Hansard the specific gravity is 0.85, 
Cajanus bicolor. See Cujanus cajan. 
Cajanus cajan. GANDUL. 
Family Leguminosae; perennial shrub growing from 3 to 10 feet (1 to 3 meters) 
high, but treated as an annual in cultivation. Bello calls Cajanus bicolor * gan- 
dures.”’ (Stahl, 3: 55.) 
Cajou. See Anacardinwn occidentale. 
Cakile aequalis. See Cukile maritima, 
Cakile maritima. MostTaciLLa DEL MAR, 
A seaside herbaceous plant related to mustard; the common name means ** sea- 
mustard.’’? (Stahl, 2: 37.) 
Calabash nutmeg. See Monodora myristica, 
Calabash tree. See Crescentia cujete. 
Calabaza. See Cucurbita pepo. 
Caladium. CARA DE CABALLO. 
An ornamental Caladium was called by this common name, meaning *‘ horse 
face,’ at Catafio.
