CHEILANTHES. Upwards of sixty species, many 
of them extending beyond the tropics, are embraced in this 
genus. To those described on pp. 307-9, Vol. I. the 
following should now be added: 
C. californica (Californian). A synonym of Hypolepis cali-

into numerous entire, linear-oblong segments. so7i numerous, 
small, roundish, placed on both edges. South America, 1883. 
Greenhouse. SyN. Hypolepis spectabilis (H. 8. F. ii. 88 B).

CHIONODOXA. The four species of this genus are 
natives of the Orient. To those described on p. 315, 
Vol. I., the following should now be added : 
C. sardensis (Sardis). /. similarly coloured to those of C. Lucilic, 
but not shading lighter in the centre ; perianth stellate-infundi- 
buliform, the limb twice exceeding the tube ; pedicels cernuous 
scape two to six-flowered. 1. convolute-channelled. 1887. 
Xxviii., p. 178; R. G. 1255 B-c). 
CHLOROPHORA (from chloros, greenish, and phoreo, 
to bear ; alluding to the economic properties of C. tinctoria). 
Orv. Urticacee. A genus comprising only two species of 
milky, stove trees; one is a native of tropical America, and 
the other is tropical African. Flowers diccious, the males 
(Gn, 
in cylindrical spikes, the females in globose or oblong 
heads; inflorescences of both sexes shortly pedunculate, 
solitary in the axils. Leaves alternate, petiolate, entire or 
toothed, penniveined; stipules lateral, caducous. The 
species thrives in almost any soil, and is readily propa- 
gated by cuttings of the half-ripened wood. 
C. tinctoria (dyers’). Fustic-tree. jl., male inflorescence 1}in. to 
2zin. long ; female 4in. to 4in. in diameter; peduncles pubescent 
or puberulous. /. distichous, 2in. to 6in. long, liin. to 2%in.

petioles jin. to din. long. h. 20ft. Tropical America, 1739. 
Yellow, brown, olive, and green dyes are extracted from the 
wood. Syn. Maclura tinctoria. 
CHLOROPHYTUM. This genus comprises about 
forty species, natives of Asia, tropical and South Africa, 
and America. To the information given on p. 317, Vol. L., 
the following should now be added. For culture, see 
Anthericum, on p. 83, Vol. I.

keel of each segment slightly greenish, about lin. in diameter, 
paniculate. Summer. Jl. bright green, with broad bands and 
blotches of yellowish-white, strap-shaped, reflexed in the upper

variegatum. 
CHONDRORHYNCHA. Colombia is the home of 
the few species included in this genus. Sepals sub-equal, 
narrow-oblong; petals much broader; lip articulated with 
the foot of the column, sessile, broad, erect, concave, 
undivided; pollen masses four. To the species described 
on p. 317, Vol. I., the following should now be added: 
Cc. Lendyana (Lendy’s). #l., sepals and petals whitish-yellow, the 
lateral sepals reverse and retrorse, the petals very large ; lip 
darker than the sepals and petals, large, elliptic, with a central, 
bidentate callus. 1886. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM. Nearly 120 species have 
been referred to this genus, but not more than eighty are 
distinct as such; they are found in Europe, Asia (mostly 
temperate and North), America (mostly North), North and 
South Africa, and the Canary Islands. To the species and 
varieties described on pp. 318-24, Vol. I., the following 
should now be added (with the exception of C. multi- 
caule, the species are hardy perennials) : 
Cc. cinerarizfolium (Cineraria-leaved). (fl.-heads jin. in 
diameter ; involucral bracts rounded and whitish at apex ; ray 
Chrysanthemum — continued.

natisect ; segments narrow-elongated, few-lobed, pinnatifid or 
pinnatisect, spreading. Stem erect, slender, one-headed. Dal- 
matia. (B. M. 6781.) 
C. Decaisneanum (Decaisne’s). fl.-heads pale yellow, radiate, 
larger than those of C. marginatum. Autumn. J. obovate, 
pinnatifid. h. 1ft. to lift. Japan, 1887. Syn. Pyrethruim De- 
carineanum 
Cc. marginatum (margined). jl.-eads deep yellow, small, dis- 
posed in rounded corymbs. Autumn. J. cuneate-oblong, pin- 
natifid in the upper third, tomentose beneath and on the edge. 
Stems tomentose. Japan, 1887. Syn. Pyrethrwm marginatum. 
Cc. maximum (greatest). fl. white; involucral scales oblong, 
whitish-margined at apex ; ray florets about 2in. long. J/., lower 
ones petiolate, cuneate at base, lanceolate, toothed from the 
middle to the apex; cauline ones sessile, broadly linear-lanceo- 
late, serrated. Stem ascending, erect. h.sometimes 10ft. Pyre- 
nees. (G. C. n. s., xxvi., p. 273.) 
C. multicaule (many-stemmed). /l.-leade golden-yellow, solitary

ray florets twelve to twenty, broadly oblong, obscurely crenate at 
the tip. July and August. Jl. succulent, very variable, linear- 
spathulate, trisected or pinnatifid. Stems many, terete, simple or 
branched, 6in. to 12in. high. Algeria, 1887. A glaucous, hardy 
annual. (B. M. 6930.) 
Varieties. This useful autumn and winter flower never 
was so popular as it is at present. It is impossible to give 
the names of all the new varieties sent out, even last 
year and the year previous (1886-7), as the number of 
them is upwards of 250. <A few of them are improve- 
ments on the oid varieties, and are in the Japanese section 
principally. The single-flowered varieties are also very 
pretty, some of them being well worthy of cultivation, 
even in select collections.
