CALYPOGE'IA, Raddi.— A genus of 

 Jungermanniese (Hepaticse), founded on 

 Jungermannia Trichomanis, Dicks. The 

 leaves have a peculiar glaucous hue ; the

 produced at the extremities of leafless pro- 

 longations of the stem.

CAM'BIUM.— The name applied to the 

 young cellular layers from which the woody 

 structures of plants are developed. When 

 sections are made near the growing points of 

 any stems, as in terminal or axillary buds, 

 we find a quantity of extremely delicate, 

 slender, elongated cells, distinguished from 

 the generally rounded cells of the paren- 

 chyma, and forming rudimentary cords in 

 the situation of the future woody and vas- 

 cular bundles. In the Dicotyledons, they 

 stand in a circle, so as to separate the 

 pith from the young bark : the ring may 

 be seen in cross sections a little below the 

 growing-point. At the very apex of the 

 stem all the tissues merge into the delicate 

 universal generative tissue or meristem. In 

 the apex of Monocotyledonous stems, and 

 also those of Ferns and the higher Flower- 

 less plants, the cambium is found in delicate 

 cords imbedded in the nascent general pa- 

 renchyma, indicating, even in this early 

 condition, the position and arrangement of 

 the isolated fibrous and vascular bundles. 

 Sections of the outer region of the stem of 

 Dicotyledons demonstrate the existence of 

 a layer of cambium at the outer surface of 

 the youngest wood, which indeed passes 

 gradually into the cambium (figs. 792, 808). 

 This cambium is the tis.«ue from which the 

 succeeding layers of wood are generated ; 

 and its position on the outside of the fibro- 

 vascular bundles gives these their indefinite 

 power of development. The cambium of 

 the Monocotyledonous bundles becomes in-
