CAIiCEOIiATE. Shaped like a slipper or round-toed

CALDCLUVIA (named after Alexander Caldcleugh, 

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

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

 evergreen tree. Flowers disposed in terminal panicles. 

 Leaves opposite, simple, serrate, glabrous ; pedicels 

 jointless ; stipules twin, sub-falcate, toothed, caducous. 

 C. paniculata thrives well in a mixture composed of 

 peat and loam. Propagation may be effected by cut- 

 tings of the half-ripened shoots, which should be planted 

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

 bottom heat. 

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



CALEA (from Icalos, beautiful ; referring to the flowers). 

 OHD. Composite. A genus of stove evergreen herbs or 

 small shrubs. 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. 



CALEANA (named after G. Caley, Superintendent of 

 the Botanical Garden, St. Vincent). ORD. Orchidece. A 

 genus of greenhouse terrestrial Orchids, natives of Australia. 

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

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

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

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

 covered ; but in wet weather, or if the plant is shaken, the 

 lip falls over the column, securely fastening it. Leaves 

 solitary, radical. They are of easy culture, in a compost of 

 fibry peat, lumpy loam, and a little charcoal. 

 B. major (greater), fl. green-brown. June. 1810.
