OENSIA (named in honour of Luis Camoens, a 
= — celebrated Portuguese poet). ORD. Leguminose. A genus 
containing a couple of handsome species. O. mazima is 
the largest-flowered leguminous plant known. It thrives 
well in rich loam and leaf mould. Cuttings root in sandy 
loam, in bottom heat, if placed under a bell glass. It has 
not yet flowered in this country. The other species has 
not been introduced. $

being C. grandiflora. For cultivation, see Gesnera. 
C, grandiflora (large-flowered).* fl. in axillary tufts, at ends of

dotted with crimson. June. Jl. opposite, oval, acuminated, 
oblique, soft, crenated, stalked. Plant hairy. h. 2ft. Santa Fé,

CAMPANULA (diminutive of campana, a bell; in refe- 
rence to the shape of the flowers). Bell-flower; Slipperwort. 
ORD. Campanulacee. A genus of mostly perennial—rarely 
annual or biennial—herbs. Flowers blue or white, for the 
most part pedunculate, usually racemose, rarely spicate or 
glomerate. Radical leaves usually different in form from 
the cauline ones, especially in size. All the species of this 
genus are elegant when in flower (see Fig. 339), and are 
very largely grown. The dwarf varieties make excellent 
subjects for pot culture, rockeries, or the fronts of borders. 
A rather rich sandy loam, with plenty of drainage, suits 
these plants. The forms of C. pyramidalis may be kept 
in cold frames during the winter, and firmly repotted in 
summer, the crown of the plant being kept just a trifle 
raised above the soil, or they are at times liable to damp 
off, through the water lodging around the necks. During 
hot weather, the pots should be plunged in a bed of ashes. 
Campanulas are easily raised from seeds, which should 
' be sown in spring. 
As a rule, few plants are so easily 
The strong-growing kinds may be 
rdi garden soil, 
well enriched with manure, while the alpine kinds are 
easily managed on the rockery. Sow seeds of the annuals 
in April, and of the biennials in June, in the open, or ina 
cold frame. The perennials are chiefly propagated by 
dividing the roots, or by young cuttings, in spring—the 
latter is by far the best method of propagation with many 
of the species—or by seeds, Those kinds requiring special 
treatment are particularised, and those suitable to the 
rockery are so ‘designated. Perennials, except where other-
