58 BULBS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED PILANTS. 
CARPOLYSA. 
A very pretty Cape of Good Hope bulb, allied to - 
and requiring the same treatment as the Ixia. There is 
but one species discovered, the C. spiralis. The flowers 
are produced in an umbel, being white tinged with pink. 
The plant has no real merit for cultivation. 
CHLIDANTHUS. 
This is a very pretty Amaryllis-like flower, bright 
yellow, and fragrant. ‘The bulbs should be planted in 
the same manner as the Gladiolus, but in a dry and well- 
drained soil, as they are impatient of water. The bulbs 
should be kept dry and warm during winter. C. fragrans. 
is the only species, and this can only be found in botan- 
ical collections. 
CHORETIS. 
See Hymenocallis. 
CLIMBING LILY. 
See Gloriosa. 
CLIVIA. 
A very pretty genus, represented by one species only, 
C. nobilis, a native of the Cape of Good Hope. It is 
nearly related to the Amaryllis. It is a greenhouse plant, 
and when once established, flowers profusely. The flow- 
ers are drooping, from forty to fifty on a well-furnished 
spike, of a delicate flesh-color throughout the greater 
part of the tube, heightening to a deep red. ‘The plants 
are increased rapidly by division. They require but 
little care, heat being about the only essential. When 
at rest they can be kept under the stage, or bench, and 
watered only occasionally. 
COBURGIA. 
See Stenomessen.
