Calochortus—continued. 
©. Purdyi (Purdy’s). /. white, with claret-purple stains at the 
base and a blotch of the same colour, covered on the inner 
surface of the segments with silky hairs, which are white, din. 
long, but deep claret-purple at the base of the segments. J. long, 
linear, bright green, glabrous. A. 10in. Habitat not recorded, 
1898. A very interesting species. 
C. Tolmiei (Tolmie’s). jl. tubular, tinged or marked with lilac,

erect, the lower half of the inner perianth segments in. to lin. 
long, hairy above the small, purple, densely hairy gland ; 
eduncle naked, 2in. to Sin. long. . three or four, linear. 
tem slender, 3in. to 6in. long, usually one- (but sometimes 
two-) flowered. California, 1868, 
C. uniflorus (of Hooker). Asynonym of C, lilacinus. 
C. venustus. This species and its varieties are still amongst 
the most attractive of the genus. See Fig. 197. 
C. venustus citrinus (Citron-coloured). A synonym of C. /uteus 
citrinus. 
C. v. oculatus (eyed), jl. white, large, each segment marked 
in the centre with a bright red blotch. 1893.

spot on each segment, purplish-rose outside. J. short, bluish- 
green. 1886. Another variety is purpurascens (purplish). 
C. Weedii (Weed’s). jl. deep yellow, dotted and often margined 
with purple, lin. or more in length, covered with slender hairs 
and ciliated ; sepals with a Bee hairy, brown spot. Summer,

California, 1875. (G. C. 1894, Xvi., Pp. 183, £. 27.) Syn. C. citrinus 
(B. M. 6200), C. tuteus Weedii. 
CALODENDRON. Pallasia (of Houttuyn) is syn- 
onymous with this genus. 
CALOMERIA. A synonym of Humea (which 
see). ; 
ale am A synonym of Gaillardia (which 
see). 
CALOPETALON. Included under Marianthus 
(which see). 
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. 
These plants delight in a mixture of good fibrous loam 
and leaf-mould. Perfect drainage and an open situation are 
SeaeniAl to their successful cultivation. When seeds are 
procurable they should be sown in heat in spring, and 
when the seedlings are large enough to handle they 
should be pricked off into shallow boxes or pans of light 
soil, and grown on in cold frames until ready for planting 
out in the open ground. The best time for grafting on 
stocks of the common Laburnum is in spring before 
growthcommences. Grafting may be done out of doors or 
under glass. The latter method is the quicker and more 
certain of the two. 
Cc. andiflora (large-flowered). l., calyx five-cleft; corolla 
golden-yellow, eae lin. long ; peduncles axillary and, 
Caen with the raceme, exceeding the leaves. June and July. 
1. 24in. to 8in. long; leaflets ovate, shortly petiolulate, sin. to 
nearly lin. long, entire. 1886, (R. G. 1231.) 
CALOPOGON. Syn. Cathea. 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 be added : 
Cc. multifiorus (many-flowered). ji. (ae et ae stalk of 
the ip having on each side of the base an auricle, the broad, 
irregularly square, retuse, emarginate, anterior blade having at 
the base a tuft of golden-yellow, hairy lamellz, often purplish at 
Merk and before these some purple calli; peduncle tive-flowered. 
CALOSACME. A Synonym of Chirita (which’ see). 
&C. 1S 
CALOSANTHUS. A synonym of Oroxylum (which 
see). 
CALOSTEMMA. Only the three species described 
on p. 247, Vol. I., are referred to this genus, and all are 
Australian. They should be grown in a compost of sandy 
loam and leaf-mould, the former preponderating. Propaga- 
tion is effected by offsets. 
Cc. purpureum (B. R. 422; F.d.S. 1135). Of this there is a 
variety carneum, having pale purple or white flowers, rather 
larger than in the type. (B. R. 340, t. 26.) 
CALOTHAMNUS. Syn. Billottia (of Colla). 
Twenty-two species, confined to Western Australia, are 
included in this genus. Flowers in lateral clusters or 
spikes, usually turned to one side, immersed in the rachis 
when young, and either protruding and free from the time 
of flowering, or remaining immersed till the seed becomes 
mature. 2 
CALPURNIA (named in honour of Titus Julius 
Calpurnius, an imitator of Virgil; this genus being nearly 
allied to Virgilia). Orp. Leguminose. A genus com- 
prising about half-a-dozen species of greenhouse trees or 
shrubs, confined to South Africa. Flowers yellow; calyx 
shortly five-cleft; standard erect; wings oblong; keel 
incurved, bifid; stamens ten; racemes axillary and 
terminal, the peduncles often paniculate. Leaves impari- 
pinnate, with many leaflets. The species introduced thrive 
in a compost of peat and loam. Propagation may be 
effected by means of cuttings of half-ripened shoots, 
inserted in sand, under a bell-glass, in April; or by seeds, 
sown on a gentle hot-bed. 
C. intrusa (intruded). fl. scarcely jin. long; calyx intruse 
at base ; Nea flexuous, much longer than the leaves. May 
to August. J., leaflets ten to fourteen pairs, glabrescent, ellip- 
tical, mucronate. 1790. Sy¥N. Virgilia intrusa. 
C. lasiogyne (having a silky ovary). Natal Laburnum. ji. like 
those of Laburnum; ovary silky with short, white hairs. Z., 
leaflets four to ten pairs, elliptical, obtuse or retuse, thinly 
pubescent beneath. 1890. . 
CALTHA. This genus embraces about nine species, 
distributed over the temperate and frigid regions of the 
globe. To those described on p. 247, Vol. I., the following 
variety should be added: 
C. alpina (alpine).* jl. of a rich orange-yellow, larger than in 
C. palustris (of which this plant is probably a variety), pro- 
duced in great profusion. April and May. J., radical ones 
sub-orbicular or reniform, with crenate margins; cauline ones 
roundish-cordate, coarsely toothed, sessile. h. lft. to 1sft. 
Transylvania, 1892. A decided acquisition to the bog garden. 
C. ficarioides (Ficaria-like). A synonym of C. palustris 
parnassifolia. 
CALTHA (of Mench). A synonym of Calendula 
(which see). 
CALVARY CLOVER. See Medicago Echinus. 
CALYCANTHUS PRZCOX. A synonym of 
Chimonanthus fragrans (which see). Calycanthus 
fertilis is identical with C. glaucus. 
CALYCEREZ. A small natural order (about a 
score species) of extra-tropical, South American, dwarf or 
procumbent herbs, ranking between Dipsacezx and Com- 
posite ; they are of botanical interest only. 
CALYCIUM. A synonym of Heterotheca (which 
see). 
CALYCOMIS (of Brown).

CALYCOMIS (of Don).

CALYCOPTERIS (from kalyz, kalykos, a calyx, 
and pteron, a wing; alluding to the enlarged calyx lobes 
when the plants are in fruit). Syn. Getonia. Orn. Com- 
bretacez. A monotypic genus. The species, C. floribunda 
(Syns. CO. nutans, Getonia floribunda), is a diffuse, stove 
shrub, allied to Terminalia, probably no longer in cultiva- 
tion.
