Cult. The seeds of this pretty annual plant should be sown 
in a pot, in the month of March, and when the plants are of suf- 
ficient size, which will be in May, they should be planted out into 
the border in a warm situation, where they will flower and ripen 
seed.

tals 4, larger than the calyx. Stamens 8-28. Torus elongated 
or hemispherical. Berry stipitate, with a very thin skin, ovate- 
globose, pulpy in the inside. Unarmed shrubs or trees, with 
trifoliate leaves and terminal cymes or racemes of largish flowers. 
This genus differs particularly in the open estivation of the 
petals. The flowers are sometimes polygamous. 
1 C. cyna’yvra (Lin. spec. 636.) stamens 20-24, inserted on 
the cylindrical receptacle, longer than the petals; berry ovate ; 
leaflets ovate, acute ; petals lanceolate. h.S. Native of bushy 
places near the sea in Jamaica,—Pluk. phyt. t. 147. f. 6. Flowers 
in panicled racemes, with whitish petals and purplish stamens, and 
anthers. This plant has a nauseous smell and a burning taste.

Society Islands.—Rheed. mal. 3. t. 42. Flowers greenish- 
white, with red stamens. In the Society Islands this tree is 
lanted in burial grounds, and is supposed to be sacred to their 
idols. In Otaheite the tree is called Pura-au and Puratarura. 
Sacred Garlic-Pear. Tree 20 feet. 
3 C. Læra (D. C. prod. 1. p. 243.) stamens 20-24, inserted 
in an annular torus, longer than the petals; berry oval; leaflets 
ovate, acuminated, unequal at the base. h. S. Native of 
Senegal. Flowers whitish, with reddish stamens, sometimes poly- 
gamous. Perhaps the same as C. Adansònii. 
Fruitful Garlic-Pear. Tree 20 feet. 
4 C. Ta`rria (Lin. spec. 637.) stamens 8-16, inserted in a 
cylindrical torus, nearly one-half shorter than the pedicel of the 
fruit and petals ; berry globose ; leaflets ovate-acuminated, un- 
equal at the base; petals narrow. h.S. Native of the West 
India Islands and South America.—Plum. gen. t. 21.—Pis. bras. 
t. 69. The plant from the West India Islands is octandrous, and 
the one from South America is dodecandrous ; and therefore pro- 
bably distinct species. Flowers on long peduncles, forming loose 
terminal panicled racemes, whitish. The fruit is as large as an 
orange, and when ripe has a strong scent of garlic, which is 
communicated to the animals that feed on it. Ti apia is the 
American name of the tree.

flowers like those of C. Tapia. C. Tapia, Vahl. symb. 3. p. 
61, Cápparis trifolidta, Roxb. mss.—This species comes very 
near to C. Adansònii, but the lateral leaflets are more unequal ; 
this consists of the greater decurrence of the lamina on the outer 
side of the lateral leaflets.
