a tubular base, Sed throat, and slightly expanded, truncated 
limb. Z. on long petioles, ovate, blunt. Himalayas. SYN. Codo-

CAMPEACHY WOOD, or 
Hematoxylon campechianum. 
CAMPHORA (Camphor, commercial name of its chief 
product). Camphor-tree. ORD. Laurineæ. Cool stove 
evergreen trees, now referred to genus Cinnamomum. The 
true Camphor of commerce is a product of the oil procured 
from the wood, branches, and leaves of this tree, by means 
of dry distillation. It thrives in a compost of peat and 
loam, and may be propagated by cuttings. 
Ca officinalis (officinal). fl. greenish-white.

Cinnamomum Camphora. 
CAMPHOR-TREE. See Camphora. 
CAMPION, ROSE. See Lychnis. 
CAMPSIDIUM (from kampsis, a curving). ORD. 
Bignoniaceœ. A small genus of plants, the best-known 
(perhaps the only) species being a handsome greenhouse 
climber, having the anthers placed parallel. For culture, 
see Bignonia. 
C. chilense (Chilian). Pipil Boqui. fl. rich orange colour; corolla 
tubular, almost regular. l. pinnate, dark shining green. "h. 30ft. 
to 40ft. Chili. (a. C. 1870, 1182.) 
CAMPTERIA. See Pteris. 
CAMPTODIUM. See Nephrodium. 
CAMPTOPUS (ftom kamptos, curved, and pous, a 
foot; in allusion to the downwardly curved flower-stalk). 
ORD. Rubiacee. A curious shrub, requiring a moist stove 
temperature. Cuttings will root in sandy loam, under a 
lass, if placed in bottom heat. Camptopus is now

CANALICULATE. Channelled, or furrowed. 
| CANARINA (so named from being a native of the 
eae Canary Islands). ORD. Campanulacee. A greenhouse 
| herbaceous perennial, of considerable beauty. It thrives 
best in a compost of loam, leaf mould, thoroughly decom- 
posed manure, and sand, in equal parts. The plant should 
übe repotted in January. Plenty of root space and perfect 
" are very essential to good culture; and when new 
growth commences, a little extra heat will considerably 
accelerate the development of the flowers. Water should 
be liberally supplied during the growing season. It may 
be readily propagated by dividing the root when repot- 
y ting; or by young euttings, placed in sandy soil, in a 
gentle warmth.

CANARIUM (from Canari, its vernacular name in 
the Malay language). ORD. Burseraceœ. A rather large 
genus of stove trees. Flowers small, in axillary panicles; 
petals usually three, valvate, or slightly imbricate in the 
bud. Drupe ovoid or ellipsoid, often three-angled. Leaves 
large, impari-pinnate. For culture, see Boswellia. 
C. commune (common). fl. white, glomerate, nearly sessile, 
bracteate ; panicle terminal. l, leaflets seven to nine, on long 
stalks, ovate- oblong, bluntly acuminated, entire. India. The 
fruit has a thin olive skin, and when the nuts are mature, they 
contain a sweet kernel, which does not become rancid, and 
resembles a Sweet Chestnut ; they are also used for various 
economic purposes. (B. M. P. 
CANARY-BIRD FLOWER.

CANAVALIA (from Canavali, the name of one of

of elegant twining or climbing stove herbs or sub- 
shrubs. Flowers in racemes, produced from the axils 
of the leaves; calyx bell-shaped, two-lipped ; corolla 
papilionaceous.. Leaves trifoliate. They are well adapted 
for training up the rafters in a stove or warm green- 
house. For culture, see ot
