the ends of the branches; petals bright rose-purple, spreading 
and recurved ; anthers forming a corona-like ring, enclosing the 
rayed stigma. May and June. Stems spreading, prostrate,

CEROPEGIA. The fifty species of this genus inhabit 
tropical and South Africa, the East Indies, the Malayan 
Archipelago, and tropical Australia. To those described 
on pp. 300-1, Vol. I., the following should now be added:

short, lateral peduncles ; sepals small, acute; corolla green, 2in. 
to 3in. long, the mouth trumpet-shaped, the five clawed lobes 
white, spotted purple-brown. July. /. opposite, 2in. to din. long,

CHAMZICERASUS ALPIGENA NANA. A

CHAMZCLADON (from chamai, dwarf, and kladon, 
a branch; in allusion to the habit of the species). Orp. 
Aroidew (Aracee). A genus comprising about twelve species 
of stove herbs, inhabiting tropical Asia and the Malayan 
Archipelago. Flowers moneecious, all perfect; spathe 
small, sub-cylindrical, convolute below, gaping above, 
persistent; spadix inappendiculate, included, stipitate, 
sub-cylindrical, the male inflorescence much longer than 
the female. Leaves elliptic-ovate, varying 
to lanceolate, rarely cordate at base, the 
nerves nearly reaching the margins; petioles 
elongated, long-sheathing. Caudex short or 
almost wanting. Only one species is known 
in gardens. For culture, see Schismato- 
glottis, on p. °32, Vol. III. 
Cc. metallicum (metallic-lustred). 
jl., spathe 
fuscous-purple, lin. 
long, mucronate; peduncle 
purplish, slender, lin. to lyin. long. J. 3}in. to 
din. long, 24in. to 34in. broad, elliptic, sub-acute, 
shortly mucronate, rounded or slightly cordate 
at base, metallic-green above, purplish beneath; 
veins five to eight on either side the midrib, 
curved, ascending; petioles 24in. to 3in. long, 
nearly jin. thick, channelled, purplish. h. about 
Tin. Borneo, 1884, (I. H. 1884, 539.) 
CHAMACYPARIS. America and 
Japan are the headquarters of this genus, 
which is included, by Bentham and Hooker, 
under Thuya. To the varieties of C. Law- 
soniana described on pp. 303-4, Vol. I., the 
following should now be added: 
Cc. Lawsoniana erecta alba (erect, white). 
A variety of slender, twiggy growth, stiff and 
compact, but feathery at the points, of a rich 
glaucous-whitish-grey or silvery hue. 1882. 
Cc. L. Rosenthalii (Rosenthal’s). A garden 
variety, differing from the type in its pyramidal 
growth, and in the branchlets not drooping. 
1886. 
CHAMZ:DOREA. This genus com- 
prises about sixty species, natives of Western 
tropical America. To those described on 
p. 305, Vol. I., the following should now be 
added : 
C. polita (polished). 7. bifid when young, break- 
ing up with age into two pairs of pinne, with 
a large, terminal leaflet; petioles (and stems) 
smooth. Mexico, 1884. 
C. pulchella (pretty). /. produced in profusion, 
gracefully arched, pinnate, having very numerous 
linear leaflets. 1885. A very ornamental Palm, 
suitable for table decoration. 
C. Wobstiana (Wobst’s). An ornamental Palm, 
bearing a close resemblance to C. Sartorii, but it 
is more robust, and has more numerous leaves. 
1885. 
CHAMZ:IPEUCE. To the species described on 
p. 306, Vol. I., the following should now be added: 
C. Sprengeri (Sprenger’s). l.-eads white, fragrant ; involucral 
scales smooth, J. linear-lanceolate, dark green with white veins, 
the side veins running into two or three marginal spines. 1888. 
Garden hybrid. A hardy perennial, useful for rockwork and 
carpet-bedding. 
CHAMELUM (from chamelos, low, humble; in allu- 
sion to the habit of the plant). Orp. Ividee. A small 
genus (two species) of half-hardy, perennial herbs, 
natives of Chili. Flowers two or more in a spathe, very 
shortly pedicellate; perianth yellow, the tube slenderly 
funnel-shaped, the lobes sub-equal, erecto-patent ; stamens 
affixed to the throat, the filaments connate in a cylindrical 
tube; spathes terminal, solitary or numerously aggregate. 
Leaves few, linear, rather broad or sub-terete. OC. lutewm 
is known to cultivation. It thrives in well-drained, sandy 
loam, and may be propagated by division of the rootstock. 
In many parts of England it would probably prove hardy.
