278 FOREST CULTURE AND 
Cedronella cordata, Bentham.—United States of 
North America. A perennial herb, fragrant, like the 
foregoing. 
Cedronella triphylla, Moench.—Madeira and Canary 
Islands. A shrubby plant, with highly-scented foli- 
age. The volatile oil obtainable from it resembles 
that of Melissa, but is somewhat camphoric. 
Cepheelis Ipecacuanha, Richard.—Brazil ; in woods 
of mountains consociated with palms and fern-trees. 
It is not unlikely that this herb, which is perennial 
and yields the important medicinal ipecacuanha root, 
would live in our warmer forest regions, such as those 
of East Gipps Land. Active principles : emetin and 
ipecacuanha acid. 
Ceroxylon andicola, Humboldt. —The Wax Palm 
of New Granada, ascending the Andes to 11,000 feet. 
One of the most majestic and, at the same time, one 
of the most hardy of all palms, attaining a height of 
180 feet. The trunk exudes a kind of resinous wax, 
about 25 pounds being obtainable at a time from each 
stem; this, by admixture to tallow, is used for can- 
dies. There are several other andine palms which 
could be reared in our forests, or in sheltered posi- 
tions at our dwellings, but some of them are not even 
yet phytographically circumscribed. 
Cervantesia tomentosa, Ruiz and Pavon.—Forest 
mountains of Peru. This tree yields edible seeds. It 
is likely to prove hardy in our lower forest regions. 
Cheerophyllum bulbosum, Linne.—Middle Europe 
and Western Asia. The Parsnip-Chervil. A bienni- 
al herb. The root a good culinary esculent. 
Cheerophyllum sativum, Lamarck. ( Anthriscas 
Cerefolium, Hoffm. )—The Ohervil. Middle and
