Cinnamon-trees. Other countries have their Cinnamon- 



trees, but differing from the true Asiatic Cinnamon, 



Stove trees. Cuttings of fine shoots in April, in sand, 



under a glass, and a moist bottom-heat. Peat and loam. 

 Summer temp., 60 to 80 ; winter, 55 to 60.

Ca'mphora (Camphora). 30. Greenish-white. June. 

 China and Japan. 1727. "Camphor." Although 

 camphor is secreted by many plants in this order, 

 and more particularly by some species of cinnamon, 

 the true camphor of commerce is obtained from 

 C. Camphora, and is a product of the oil procured 

 from the wood, branches, and leaves, by means of 

 dry distillation. Camphor is chiefly manufactured 

 in the Island of Formosa, and from thence sent to 

 Canton for exportation. The hard camphor of 

 Sumatra and the camphor-oil of Borneo are the 

 natural secretions of Dryoba'lanops aroma'tica.

CIRCUMPOSmON differs from layering, only that in 

 this the shoot to be rooted is bent down to the soil, 

 whilst, in circumposition, the soil is placed in a vessel, 

 and raised to the shoot. There are pots called layering- 

 Pots, made for this practice, and differing from the common 

 garden-pot only by having a section, about an inch 

 broad, cut through one side, and to the centre of the 

 bottom, for the admission of the shoot or branch. 

 Moisture necessary for favouring the emission of roots 

 is supplied by means of a bottle, from which the bottom 

 is struck off, and the neck furnished with a cork, per- 

 forated so as to admit a small pigeon's feather, or bit " 

 of wool, to form a syphon, by means of which the moss 

 is kept in a proper state of moisture. Hard-wooded 

 plants are propagated in this way from the middle of 



May till the end of J une ; and the branches are suffi- 

 ciently rooted to be taken off by the end of September. 

 It is, however, necessary in all cases to ascertain whether 

 the branches are sufficiently rooted previously to their 

 being separated. After being separated, the rooted 

 branch is treated like one layered. See LAYERING. 



Another method is to split a pot in two, and after 

 putting it round the stem and binding it together, to 

 fill it with suitable soil for the plant to root into. Some 

 propagators, after splitting a stem through a joint, bind 

 sphagnum, peat, and sand round ; and this is one of the 

 best methods for Crotons, Dracaenas, and similar plants.
