CALYPTROCALYX. Two species of unarmed, 
stove Palms, with slender stems, natives of Amboyna and 
Australia, are included in this genus. Flowers arranged as 
in Oyphophenix, the males rather large; spadices very

solitary or twin ; spathe solitary, complete, shorter than the 
spadix, deciduous. Fruit mediocre or rather large, ovoid 
or olive-shaped, one-celled. Leaves terminal, equally 
pinnatisect ; segments linear-lanceolate, the midrib and 
nerves prominent beneath. 
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 obovoid, one- 
séeded. Leaves terminal, unequally pinnatisect ; segments 
in few pairs; petioles very short. To the species de- 
scribed on p. 249, Vol. I., the following should be added: 
C. teres (terete). J. spreading or drooping, consisting, in young 
planta of two pairs of linear-oblong, tapered leaflets about 2in.

CAMARIDIUM. About a dozen species of stove, 
epiphytal Orchids, natives of tropical America, are in- 
cluded in this genus. Flowers mediocre, solitary, produced 
from the axils of the distichous leaves. To the species 
. described on p. 249, Vol. I., the following should be added : 
C. Lawrenceanum (Sir Trevor Lawrence's). jl., sepals and 
petals yellowish-white, the former spotted with reddish-purple, 
most distinctly on the back; lip deep, dark purple, yellowish- 
white at apex, 4in. long ; column yellowish-white, with a purple 
stigma; peduncles axillary, one-flowered. 7. 14in. to din. Jong, 
linear, obtuse. Pseudo-bulbs distant, elliptic-oblong, compressed, 
two-leaved at apex. Habitat not recorded, 1894. 
CAMASSIA. Syn. Cyanoiris. This genus now 
embraces five species, all North American. To those 
described on p. 250, Vol. I., the following should be added: 
C. Cusickii (Cusick’s). jl. pale blue, 14in. in diameter; perianth 
segments narrow-oblanceolate, obtuse ; raceme long, moderately 
dense. J, glaucous, slightly wavy, lsft. to 2ft. long, 14in. broad.

ments not so distinctly nerved as in the other species ; raceme

CAMELLIA. Of recent years Camellias have suffered 
somewhat in popularity. Many have given up their 
cultivation because of the stiffness or formality of the 
flowers; but a few novelties, chiefly from Japan, have 
a distinct and beautiful appearance, being in most 
instances single or semi-double, and deserving: of attention 
for conservatory decoration or the covering of back walls 
of cool houses or corridors, for which they are well 
adapted. Some of the more desirable varieties are as 
follow : é 
Singles and Semi-Doubles.—ADELINA Partl, single petals 
soft pink, anthers bright yellow; EMIN PasHA, semi-double. 
petals deep crimson, anthers yellow; GERALD WALLER, not 
quite double, petals soft carmine, and lightly speckled with a 
paler shade, anthers yellow; HOTOKE, a charming single white, 
with deep yellow anthers; LADY ARDILAUN, pure white, with a 
retty Anemone-like centre ; MRS. LADE, double white, of perfect 
orm; NAGasKI, semi-double, bright carmine petals ; TAKaYAMa, 
petals rich scarlet, a small-flowered, attractive variety; THE 
Damo, single crimson, with large yellow anthers; THE 
MIKADO, semi-double, petals crimson, margined with white. 
The following are also excellent: JAPONICA AITONII, red, large 
flower; J. ALBA, white, and very floriferous; J. BICOLOR, 
white, delicately striped with rose; J. CARNESCENS, rose, large 
flower; J. RUBRA, brick red. 
Doubles.—The list of the double-flowering varieties in Vol. I. 
is so good that it is scarcely necessary to add to their number. 
It will suffice to mention JUBILEE, flowers of the largest size, 
with imbricated petals, white, marbled with rose, and SASANQUA 
ALBA, white, which, unlike most varieties, possesses a fragrance.

CAMERARIA DUBIA. A synonym of Wrightia 
* dubia (which see). 
CAMPANEA. Includes Capanea. This genus em- 
braces six species of softly-villous shrubs, found only in 
tropical America. Flowers usually pink or white, purple- 
spotted within, large; calyx broadly campanulate, with 
five almost leaf-like lobes; corolla tube ample, the limb 
oblique, with five almost equal lobes; stamens affixed at 
the base of the corolla, slightly exserted; peduncles 
axillary, somewhat umbellately many-flowered at apex. 
Leaves opposite, soft. To the species described on p. 253, 
Vol. I., the following should be added: 
Cc. Humboldtii (Humboldt’s). 7. gennely, tomentose outside, 
densely spotted within, otherwise as in C. Oerstedii ; peduncles
