CHRYSEIS. See Eschscholtzia. 



CHUYSOCOMA. Goldy-locks. [Compositae.] A genus 

 of hardy, herbaceous, and greenhouse evergreen species. The 

 former grow in common soil, and are increased by division; 

 the latter prefer light sandy loam, and are increased by cut- 

 tings. Thev are not very showy. 



CHRYSOSTEMMA. [Compositae.] Hardy herbaceous 

 perennials, with showy flowers. Common garden soil. In- 

 creased by division. C. tr'qjteris, flowers yellow.

CIBOTIUM. [Polypodiaceae.] A very handsome large

 plants should be raised annually. Some few of the species, 

 among which is C. Cassahonm, one of the most ornamental 

 species, require protection. 



CISTUS. Rock Rose. [Cistaceae.] The Rock Roses

 scarcely hardy shrubs, are veiy gay subjects for rockwork 

 or sunny spots, on account of the profusion of blossoms they 

 bear during the hot weather of summer. They are increased
