 F.R.S. and F.L.S., who collected and sent to this country 

 many plants from Chili). Ord. Saxifragece. A greenhouse 

 evergreen tree. Flowers panicled, terminal. Leaves 

 opposite, simple, serrate, glabrous ; pedicels jointlcss ; 

 stipules twin, suh-falcate, toothed, caducous. It thrives 

 well in a compost of peat and loam, and may be pro- 

 pagated by cuttings of the half-ripened shoots, planted 

 in sand, under a hand glass, and placed in a very gentle 

 bottom heat. 

 C. paniculata (panicled). yL white. June. Chili, 1831. 



CALEA(from ^y(?o.<j, beautiful; referring to the flowers). 

 Ord. Compositcr. A genus of stove evergreen herbs or 

 small slirubs. Pappus hairy ; receptacle paleaceous ; invo- 

 lucre imbricated. They thrive in a compost of peat and 

 loam. Side shoots root readily, if placed in sand, under 

 glass, and with bottom heat ; seeds may be sown in March. 

 Warmer parts of New World. 



CAIiZSANA (named after G. Caley, Superintendent of 

 the Botanical Garden, St. Vincent). Ord. Orrhidea:. A 

 genus of greenhouse terrestrial orchids, natives of Australia. 

 Flowers lew, greenish-brown ; column broad, thin, concave ; 

 sepals and petals narrow, rcflexed ; lip posticous, peltate, 

 unguiculate, liighly irritable. In fine weather, or if left 

 undisturbtMl, this lip bends back, leaving the column un-

 lip falls ovoT the column, securely fastening it. Leaves 

 solitary, radical. They arc of easy culture, iu a compost of 

 fibry peat, lumpy loam, and a little charcoal.
