232 GREEN-HOUSE REPOTTING. [March. 



which is R.falcata. It seldom flowers; the minor variety 

 blooms profusely every year from May to August, and has 

 showy scarlet flowers in terminal panicles. The plants 

 known as C. coccinea and C. versicolor are now given to 

 the genus Kalosdnthus. The flowers of the former are 

 scarlet, wax-like, terminal, and sessile ; those of the latter 

 are rose and white, also wax-like, and are both desirable 

 plants, requiring very little water during winter. (Soil 

 No. 18.) 



Cratagus. There are none of these belonging to the 

 green-house ; but there is a plant in the collections, known 

 as C. glabra, which is Photinia serrulata, a native of 

 China, and is a very handsome plant, has long foliage, 

 deeply serrated, very shining. P. arbutifolia, a native of 

 California, and is the finest of the genus; flowers in large 

 dense panicles, foliage larger than the former, and not so 

 deeply serrated ; they are both comparatively hardy, and 

 we soon expect to see them acclimated. (Soil No. 11.) 



Crinum, several species do well in the green-house, 

 especially C. Mexicdnum, C. capense, and C. ascotica: 

 they require considerable pot room to make them do well. 

 (Soil No. 12.) 



Crowea saligna is among one of the finest plants of New 

 South Wales. It flowers at the axils of the leaves, colour 

 pink, with five petals, connected by entangled hairs ; in 

 flower from April to December, and frequently through the 

 winter ; foliage lanceolate, and a fine green. The plant 

 grows neat, and requires an airy situation : drain the pots 

 well. (Soil No. 1.) 



Cunonia capnesis, the only species, and a handsome 

 shrub, with large pinnated shining leaves, beautifully con- 

 trasted by numerous dense elongated branches of small 

 white flowers, and twigs of a red colour, having more the 

 habit of a tropical than of a Cape of Good Hope plant. 

 (Soil No. 2.) 



Cupressus may be desired in collections, as erect and 

 handsome growing evergreen shrubs. C. lusitanica the 

 famed cedar of Goa ; C. pendula and C, juniperoides are 

 the most desirable ; the flowers are insignificant and yel- 

 lowish ; we have no doubt they may prove hardy. C. 

 lusitanica is the handsomest tree of the genus. Its abun-
