Cheilanthes—continued.

tenuifolia, 
C. Ellisiana (Ellis’s). A form of C. hirta.

Cc. pulveracea (powdery). A synonym of Nothochlena sulphurea. 
Fic, 241. CHEILANTHES RADIATA. 
c. radiata. This pretty little stove Fern was, owing to its 
general appearance (see Fig. 241), for a long time considered 
to be a species of Adiantwm. 
C. rufescens (reddish). A garden synonym of C. cuneata. 
CHEILOPLECTON. Included under Pellea (which 
see). 
CHEILOSANDRA. A synonym of Rhynchotéchur

Vol. V. 
Cheiranthera—continued. 
C. linearis and C, parviflora, which are probably the only 
species in cultivation, require similar treatment to Sollya 
which see).

elegant twiner, closely resembling the well-known Sollya 
heterophylla. (B. M. 7261.) : 
CHEIRANTHODENDRON. A 
synonym of Cheirostemon (which see). 
CHEIRANTHUS. Abont a dozen 
very variable species, natives of temperate 
regions, are retained in this genus. Others 
formerly included hereunder are now re- 
ferred to Erysimum, Malcolmia, Mat- 
thiola, &c. 
CHEIROGLOSSA. 
sum. 
CHEIROPTERA. See Bats. 
CHEIROSTEMON. Syn. Cheirantho- 
dendron, This genus belongs to ORD, Stercu- 
liacez. 
CHEIROSTYLIS. Abont eight species, 
natives of India, the Malayan Archipelago, 
and tropical Africa, are included in this 
genus. Sepals connate to the middle in a 
tube; lip with a saccate or cymbiform base 
and a two-lobed, toothed or pectinate limb ; 
columnar appendages long, fleshy. To the 
information given on p. 310, Vol. I., the 
following should be added : 
C. marmorata. The correct name, according 
to the ‘*Index Kewensis,” is Dossinia marmo- 
rata. 
C. grandiflora and C. montana (B, H. 1861, t.. 18) 
have also been introduced, but are noc in general 
cultivation. 
CHELONANTHERA. The species 
formerly classed under this name are now 
referred to Coelogyne and Pholidota. 
CHELONE. As now limited, this genus 
embraces only four species, several plants 
formerly included here being now classed 
under Pentstemon. C. glabra is regarded 
by Dr. Asa Gray as a distinct species. 
CHENOLEA (from chen, a goose, and 
leia, prey ; the plant is said to be eaten by 
geese). ORD. Chenopodiacee, A genus in- 
eluding about a sccre species of greenhouse 
or hardy herbs or shrubs, widely distributed. 
C. diffusa has been introduced, but is of no 
horticultural value. 
CHENOPODIUM. Blitwm is included in this genus. 
CHERLERIA. Included under Arenaria (which 
see). 
CHERMES ABIETIS. See Spruce-Gall Aphis. 
CHERMES OF THE APPLE. This name is some- 
times applied to the Apple Sucker (Psylla mali) (which 
see). It is, however, correctly given to a genus, one 
species of which, C. abietis (known as the Spruce Gall 
Aphis) is injurious to young Spruce trees. 
CHEROKEE ROSE. See Rosa sinica. 
CHERRY. Stocks are of more importance in the case 
of this fruit than many imagine. On some land the Wild 
Gean is best for all forms of trees, while on others the 
Mahaleb is preferable for either dwarf, wall, or half- 
standard trees. For all land with a very dry subsoil—sand 
or gravel—the Mahaleb is superior; while, for all except 
dwarf trees on deeper and heayier soil, the Wild Gean is the 
more suitable,
