of C. perfoliata, as yet unintroduced). ORD. Gentianacee. 
Small, erect, simple or branched, stove or greenhouse 
EA Flowers stalked or aub-seksile: Leaves opposite, 
sessile, or amplexicaul. Corolla funnel-shaped, with a 
four-cleft, unequal limb; the two outer segments equal, 
two lower ones combined a greater distance. Branches and 
stems tetragonal. They require treatment similar to 
Balsams, and grow best in a soil to which chalk or lime- 
stone debris is added. 
C. Parishii (Parish’s). jl. white. J. opposite, perfectly connate,

the REESE e 9m . Polemoniacee. 
Very pretty erect, branched greenhouse evergreen 
Flowers in corymbs, at the termination of the 
rarely solitary and axillary. Leaves entire or almost pin- 
natifid, alternate, petiolate, elliptic, acuminated, or cuneate- 
oblong, glabrous, or downy on both surfaces wh n young. 
They are of easy culture in a compost of turfy loam, leaf- 
mould, and sand, if good drainage is allowed. Propagated 
by cuttings, placed in sand, under a hand glass. In the 
western parts of England, these plants—particularly C. 
buxifolia—thrive remarkably well in sheltered situations.

crosswise, 
sometimes, but rarely, five, or oak, rarely absent. Leaves 
alternate, very rarely opposite, stipulate or exstipulate. 
The order is distributed throughout the tropical and warm 
temperate regions of both hemispheres, the frutescent 
species being largely represented in America. ‘There are 
abont twenty-three genera—the best-known being Capparis, 
Cleome, and Crateva—and about 300 species. 
CAPPARIS (kapparis, old Greek name used by Dios-

Capparidee. Greenhouse or stove evergreen shrubs, of 
considerable beauty. Calyx four-parted; petals four; 
stamens numerous; succeeded by a berry. They thrive 
best in a compost of well-drained sandy loam. Cuttings 
of ripe shoots will root in sand, under a hand glass, in 2 “ 
moist heat. This genus contains about 120 species, but 
it is very doubtful if more than six are to be found under — 
cultivation in this country.
