THE DICTIONARY OF GARDENING. 
CALOCHORTUS. Baker enumerates twenty-one, 
and S. Watson thirty-two, species of this genus, natives of 
North (mostly Western) America, extending as far as 
Mexico. To the varieties of C. venustus described on 
p. 245, Vol. I., the following should now be added : 
Cc. venustus roseus (rose-coloured). fl. white inside, with a 
distinct, red spot on each segment, purplish-rose outside. 1. 
short, bluish-green. 1886. 
CALOPHACA. About seven species of greenhouse 
or hardy, perennial herbs, shrubs, or under-shrubs, 
natives of Asiatic Russia, the Orient, and the Western 
Provinces of India, are included in this genus. Flowers 
yellow or violet, few, rather large. Leaves impari-pinnate ; 
leaflets entire, exstipellate. CO. grandiflora is a hardy, 
branched shrub, requiring similar culture to that recom- 
mended for C. wolgarica on p. 245, Vol. I. 
Cc. grandiflora (large-flowered). _jl., calyx five-cleft; corolla 
golden-yellow, papilionaceous, lin. long; peduncles axillary, and, 
together with the raceme, exceeding the leaves. June and July. 
l. 2hin. to 8in. long; leaflets ovate, shortly petiolulate, jin. to 
nearly lin. long, entire. 1886. (R. G. 1231.) 
CALOPOGON. This genus comprises four closely- 
related species of hardy, terrestrial Orchids, natives of 
North America. To those described on p. 246, Vol. I., the 
following} should now be added: 
C. multiflorus (many-flowered). jl. amethyst-purple; stalk of 
the lip having on each side of the base an auricle, the broad, 
irregularly square, retuse, emarginate, anterior blade haying at 
the base a tuft of golden-yellow, hairy lamellz, often purplish at 
base, and before these some purple calli; peduncle five-flowered, 
1884. 
CALYPTROGYNE. This genus comprises six or 
eight species, natives of tropical America. Spadices 
simple or branched from the base, long-pedunculate ; 
spathes two, narrow, the lower one much shorter than the 
peduncle, cleft at apex, the upper one deciduous, elongated, 
cleft the whole length. Fruit small, oblong or oboyvoid, one- 
seeded. Leaves terminal, unequally pinnatisect ; segments 
in few pairs; petioles very short. To the species de- 
scribed on p. 249, Vol. I., the following should now be 
added: 
C. teres (terete). /. spreading or drooping, consisting, in young 
plants, of two pairs of linear-oblong, tapered leaflets about 2in, 
wide, bright green, with the principal ribs raised ; petioles terete. 
British Guiana. Stove. 
CAMELLIA. New varieties of C. japonica are not 
very numerous, but recent additions from America have 
greatly improved our collections, and some more recent 
Italian forms are worth adding to the most select 
collections. The best are contained in the following 
list : 
CARLOTTA PApPuDOFF, beautifully marked on a rose-coloured 
ground, good form; CoMTE NESSELRODE, pale rose, shading 
to white at the margin, large, imbricated; GIARDINO FRAN- 
CHETTI, rose-coloured, lightly marbled, large, and well shaped ;

SANTARELLI, deep red, blotched white, large, and well im- 
bricated ; IMPERATRICE EUGENIRE, rose, shading to white at the 
margin, finely formed; Lropoip I., crimson, fine form; L’IN- 
SUBRIA, rose, lightly marked with white, well imbricated,

cream-colour; RETICULATA, clear rose, large; RETICULATA 
FLORE-PLENO, deep rose, large; TRICOLOR, white, striped deep 
red, semi-double; TRIOMPHE DE LopptI, blush, striped rose;

CAMPANULA. About 230 species have been referred 
to this genus ; they are broadly dispersed over the Northern 
hemisphere, being very copious in the Mediterranean 
region. Calyx tube adnate, the limb deeply five-cleft or 
five-parted; corolla campanulate, rarely funnel-shaped or 
sub-rotate, short, five-cleft to the middle or rarely nearly 
to the base ; stamens free of the corolla, the filaments often 
dilated at base, the anthers free. T'o the species described
