COROLLIFLORZB. A sub-class of Exogens, the 
vast majority of which are furnished with both calyx and 
corolla. The petals are occasionally (though rarely) free, 
sometimes altogether absent; corolla generally irregular, 
sometimes quite regular; petals generally connate into 
a two or more lobed corolla; ovary either superior or 
inferior; stamens epigynous, epipetalous (rarely hypo- 
gynous). 
CORONA. Literally, a crown; botanically, applied 
to any appendage that comes between the corolla and 
the stamens, as the cup of a Daffodil or the rays of 
a Passion-flower.

bearing at their tops umbels of pedicellate flowers. 
Leaves impari-pinnate. The greenhouse species thrive 
in a compost of two-thirds loam and one-third turfy 
peat. Cuttings strike freely if placed in cold frames or 
a cool house, under a hand glass, in spring, and, when 
callused, introduced to gentle bottom heat: As soon as 
rooted, they should be transferred to 60-sized pots, and
