1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, 
CASSELIA (a commemorative name). Orp. Ver- 
benacez. A small genus (five or six species) of dwarf, 
stove herbs, under-shrubs, or shrubs, confined to Brazil. 
Flowers few, in axillary racemes ; corolla limb sub-bilabiate. 
Leaves opposite, membranous, deeply-toothed or rarely 
entire. C. integrifolia (F. d. 8.361; P. M. B. xv. 75) has

CASSINE. Mawrocenia is synonymous with this 
genus. 
CASSINIA. This genus includes about eighteen 
species, natives of Australia, New Zealand, and South 
Africa. Leaves small, persistent. To the species described 
on p. 276, Vol. I., the following should be added : 
C. fulvida (fulvous). j.-heads white, fin. to tin. long, in termina 
corymbs of four or five. J. din. to 4in. long, linear, obtuse

iii., p. 16.) 
CASSINIACEZ. 
(which see). 
CASSIOPE. To grow the members of this genus 
satisfactorily a thoroughly well-drained, moist, peaty soil, 
and a position just shaded from the fierce mid-day sun is 
advisable. On no account should water be allowed to 
become stagnant at the roots, or failure will result. 
CASSIPOUREZ. Included under Rhizophoree 
(which see). 
CASSUVIUM. A synonym of Anacardium (which 
see). ‘ 
CASSYTHEZ. A tribe of Laurinez (which see). 
CASTALIA. A synonym of Nymphea (which see). 
CASTANEA.

Castanopsis: 
C. americana (American). A variety of C. sativa. 
C. chrysophylla (golden-leaved). A synonym of Castanopsis 
chrysophylla. 
C. japonica (Japanese). A form of C. sativa. 
C. sativa americana (American). jr. smaller and_ sweeter 
than in the type. 7. acute at the base; young ones lepidote, 
puberulous. United States. 
C. s. japonica (Japanese). A variety having the under-side 
of the young leaves covered with white pubescence. Japan, 1889. 
C. vulgaris (common). A synonym of C. sativa. 
C. crenata and C. dentata are other good kinds. 
CASTANEACEZ. Included under Cupulifere 
(which see). 
CASTANEOUS. Chestnut-coloured. 
CASTANOPSIS (from Kastanon, a Chestnut, and 
opsis, resemblance; this genus is related to Castanea). 
Orv. Cupulifere. A genus embracing about twenty-five 
species of stove, greenhouse, or hardy trees, rarely shrubs ; 
one is found in California, and the rest are Asiatic. In 
habit they closely resemble some of the Oaks; but they 
differ in the closed fruiting involucre, enclosing one to four 
nuts, being covered with spines or tubercles, and often 
splitting irregularly. Two of the species have been intro- 
duced, but only one calls for mention here. It thrives in 
ordinary soil, in any sheltered spot, and may be propagated 
by cuttings. 
C. chrysophylla (golden-leaved). l., catkins dense, one-half 
the length of the leaves. fr. densely echinate, maturing in the 
second year. J. 4in. to Sin. long, broadly lanceolate, acuminate, 
acute at base, entire, coriaceous, deep green above and (especially 
the young ones) golden-lepidote below, becoming fuscous when 
old.” Oregon, 1848. A dwarf, evergreen shrub. (G. C. 1897, ii., 
p. 411, f. 20.) Syn. Castanea chrysophylla (B. M. 4953). 
CASTELA (a commemorative name). Oxp. Sima- 
ruber. A small genus (six species) of stove or green- 
house, spiny, American shrubs, with inconspicuous, axillary 
flowers, and small, alternate, simple leaves. ‘Two species 
have been introduced, but they are of little horticultural 
value. One of them, (©. Nicholsoni (Goatbust), is 
remarkable for its bitterness, which resembles that of 
Quassia.
