 a tubular base, dilated throat, and slightly expanded, truncated 

 limb. I. on long petioles, ovate, blunt. Himalayas. SYN. Codo- 

 nopris graeilis. (C. H. P. t xvi. A.) 



C. inflate (inflated.) JL yellowish, with brownish veins ; corolla 

 herbaceous, ventricose ; peduncles opposite the leaves, one- 

 flowered. 1. alternate, ovate-cordate, acute. Himalayas. (C. H. P. 

 t. xvi. c.)

 layas. (C. H. P. t. xvi. B.) 



CAMFEACHT WOOD, or LOGWOOD. See 

 Haematoxyloii campechianum. 



CAMPHORA (Camphor, commercial name of its chief 

 product). Camphor-tree. OBD. Laurinece. Cool stove 

 evergreen trees, now referred to Cinnamomum. The true 

 Camphor of commerce is a product of the oil procured 

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

 of dry distillation. The species thrives in a compost of 

 peat and loam, and may be propagated by cuttings. 

 C. officinalls (officinal). JL greenish-white. March to June. 

 L triple-nerved, lanceolate, ovate. h. 20ft. Japan, 1727. SYN. 

 Cinnamomum Camphora. 

 CAMPHOR-TREE. See Camphora. 

 CAMPION. See Silene. 

 CAMPION, MOSS. See Silene acaulis. 

 CAMPION, ROSE. See Lychnis. 

 CAPSIDIUM (from kampsis, a curving). ORD. 

 BignoniacecB. A small genus, the best-known (perhaps the 

 only) species being a handsome greenhouse climber. For 

 culture, see Bignonia. 



C. Chilense (Chilian). Pipil Boqui. jl. rich orange colour ; corolla 

 tubular, almost regular ; anthers parallel. I. pinnate, dark shining 

 green, h. 30ft. to 40ft Chili. (G. C. 1870, 1182.) 

 CAMPTERIA. Included under Pteris (which see). 

 CAMFTODIUM. See Neplirodium. 

 CAMFTOPUS (from kamptos, curved, and pous, a foot ; 

 the flower-stalk is curved downwardly). ORD. Rubiaceai. 

 A curious shrub, now referred to Cephaelis. It requires 

 a most stove temperature. Cuttings will root in sandy 

 loam, under a hand glass, in bottom heat. 

 C. Mmmfi (Mann's), jl. white, numerously produced in sub- 

 globose, compound heads; peduncles stout, scarlet, drooping, 

 from 12in. to 18in. long. Summer. I. large, opposite, obovate 01 

 obovate-lanceolate, glabrous, coriaceous ; midrib thick, red be- 

 neath. A. 15ft. Fernando Po, 1863. (B. M. 5755.) 

 CAMPTOSORUS. See Scolopeudrium. 

 CAMPYLANTHERA. A synonym of Fronaya.

 CAMWOOD. See Bapliia. 

 CANADA BALSAM. See Abies balsamea. 

 CANADA RICE. See Zizania aquatica. 

 CANADA TEA. See Gaultheria procumbens. 

 CANALICULATE. Channelled, or furrowed. 

 CANARINA (so named from its habitat). SYN. 

 Pernettya (of Scopoli). ORD. Campanulacece. A beautiful, 

 glaucescent, greenhouse, herbaceous perennial. It thrives 

 in a compost of loam, leaf mould, thoroughly decomposed 

 manure, and sand, in equal parts ; ample root space and 

 perfect drainage are essential, and when new growth 

 commences, a little extra heat will considerably accelerate 

 the development of the flowers. Water should be liberally 

 supplied during the growing season. The plant may be 

 propagated by divisions when repotting, in January ; or by 

 young cuttings, inserted in sandy soil, in a gentle warmth. 

 C. Campanula (bell-shaped).* /. of a yellowish-purple or orange 

 colour, with red nerves, drooping, solitary, terminating axillary 

 branchlets ; corolla six-lobed at the apex, large, campanulate. 

 January to March. I. opposite, hastately sub-cordate, irregularly 

 toothed, h. 3ft. to 4ft. Canary Islands, 1696. (B. M. 444.) 



CANARITJM (from Canari, its vernacular name in 



the Malay language). ORD. Burseraceae. A rather large 



genus of stove trees. Flowers small, in axillary panicles ; 



petals usually three, valvate, or slightly imbricate in the 



bud. Drupe ovoid or ellipsoid, often three-angled. Leaves 



large, impari-pinnate. For culture, see Boswellia. 



C. commune (common). JL white, glomerate, nearly sessile, 



bracteate ; panicle terminal. I., leaflets seven to nine, on long 



stalks, ovate-oblong, bluntly acuminated, entire. India. The 



fruit has a thin olive ukin, and when the nuts are mature, they 



contain a sweet kernel, which does not become rancid, and 



resembles a Sweet Chestnut ; they are also used for various 



economic purposes. (B. M. PL 61.) 



CANARY-BIRD FLOWER. See Tropseolum 

 peregrinum. 



CANAVALIA (from Canavali, the name of one of 

 the species in Malabar). ORD. Leguminosce. A genus 

 of elegant twining or climbing stove herbs or sub- 

 shrubs. Flowers in racemes, produced from the axils 

 of the leaves ; calyx bell-shaped, two-lipped ; corolla 

 papilionaceous. Leaves trifoliate. They are well adapted 

 for training up the rafters in a stove or warm green- 

 house. For culture, see Dolichos. 



C. bonariensls (Buenos Ayres). fl. purple ; racemes drooping, 

 longer than the leaves. July and August, {..leaflets ovate, obtuse, 

 coriaceous, glabrous. Buenos Ayres, 1824. (B. R. 1199.) 



C. ensiformis (ensiform).* /. white, red, pendulous ; racemes 

 longer than the leaves. June. L, leaflets ovate, acute. India, 

 1790. SYN. C. vladiata. (B. M. 4027.) 



C. gladlata (sword-podded). Synonymous with C. enttformit. 



C. obtusifolla (obtuse-leaved), /.purple. July, August. I, leaf- 

 lets ovate obtuse. Malabar, 1820. 



CANBIA (named in honour of W. M. Canby, of Wil- 

 mington, Delaware). ORD. Papaveracece. A monotypic 

 genus, remarkable for its persistent (not caducous) corolla. 

 Sepals three, caducous ; petals six, barely Jin. in length ; 

 stamens six to nine.

 soil in South-east California, in 1876. See Fig. 356.
