CHRYSOBACTRON (from ckrysos, gold, and bactron, 

 a wand ; alluding to the handsome racemes of C. Rossii). 

 ORD. Liliacece. All the species of this genus are now 

 referred to Bulbinella by Bentham and Hooker. Very 

 ornamental, but comparatively rare, hardy bulbous peren- 

 nials. For culture, see Anthericum. 



C. Hooker! (Hooker's).* fl. bright yellow, bisexual, nearly iin. 

 across, freely produced in erect racemes Sin. to 5in. long. Early 

 summer. 1. linear, sheathing at the base, Sin. to 12in. long, and 

 from iin. to Iin. broad, h. lift, to 3ft. New Zealand, 1850. This 

 only forms fine specimens in a deep moist soil. SYN. Anthericum 

 Hookeri. 



C. Rossii (Ross's), fl. yellow, unisexual, h. 2ft. to 3ft. New 

 Zealand, 1848. A similar, but much superior, species to the 

 above. 



CHRYSOBALANEJB. A tribe of Rosacece. 

 CHRYSOBALANUS (from chrysos, gold, and balanos, 

 an acorn ; in reference to the yellow fruit of some of the 

 species). TRIBE Ghrysobalanece of ORD. Rosacece. Stove 

 or greenhouse trees, with simple leaves, and racemes or 

 panicles of insignificant flowers. Fruit edible. Sandy 

 loam is the best soil for this genus. The best method of 

 propagation is by seeds, when they are procurable. Large 

 cuttings, however, taken off at a joint, without shortening 

 any of their leaves, will root readily if planted thinly in a 

 pot of sand, and placed in moist heat, with a bell glass 

 over them. 



C. loaoo. Cocoa Plum. /. white ; panicles axillary, dichoto- 

 mous. fr. about the size of a plum, ovate-roundish, varying much
