Caulophyllum continued, 



in any ordinary light sandy soil. Propagated by divisions 

 of the roots, made in early spring, or after flowering'. 



C. thalictroides (Thalictrum-like). JL yellow, disposed in a 

 loose raceme. ApriL L, stem leaf solitary; petiole divided to the 

 base into three parts, each part bearing three ovate or obovate, 

 deeply-cut, acun\inated leanete. ^Tberry deep fatae. globose! 

 contracted below into a long-stipitate base. A. 1ft. North 

 America, 1755. 



CAVENDISHIA. See Proclesia. 



CEANOTHUS (from Iceanothva, a name employed by 

 Theophrastus to designate a spiny plant, derived from keo, 

 to cleave ; however, the modern genus has nothing to do 

 with the plant of Theophrastns). OBD. Rhamneo;. Hardy 

 or half-hardy, smooth or pubescent shrubs. Flowers 

 blue or white, very slender, disposed in terminal panicles 

 or in thyrscid cymes. Leaves alternate, serrated, three- 

 nerved. Branches erect. They thrive in almost any soil, 

 but prefer a light one, and a well-drained situation. The 

 majority of the species are very elegant, and are particu- 

 larly suited for covering walls with almost all aspects. 

 They are mostly of free and neat growth. Propagation is 

 effected either by cuttings, which should be inserted ic 

 sandy soil, in a cold frame, in autumn, or by layers, which 

 is the readiest way of obtaining strong plants. A great 

 number of species have been introduced, from time to 

 time, but only a comparative few are generally grown, 

 although all are well worth cultivating.
