Cape Calodendron. Clt. 1789. Tree 20 feet? 



Cult. This tree is supposed to be one of the finest at the 

 Cape of Good Hope; its fruit resembles that of a chesnut. The 

 plant will grow freely in a mixture of loam and peat ; and ripened 

 cuttings will strike root readily, if planted in a pot of sand, and 

 placed under a hand-glass, but care must be taken to plant them 

 soon enough to be rooted before they drop their leaves (the tree 

 being deciduous) or they will not root (Sweet).

 Disk adhering to the bottom of the calyx, bearing the stamens 

 on the margin. Petals 5, with short claws, spreading. Fila- 

 ments 10, hispid, the 5 opposite the petals sterile, each endin^ 

 in a thickened, concave, or globose gland, the 5 fertile ones 

 shortest, terminated by large, egg-shaped anthers, each furnished 

 at the apex with a shell-like, or rarely globose, pedicellate gland, 

 which is at first erect, then refracted. Style shorter than the

calyx, dilated at the apex into a depressed-globose 5-lobed 

 stigma. Carpels 5, compressed, joined together, covered with 

 stipitate tubercles or glands, shorter than the calyx. Seeds 1 or

 at their base. Flowers whitish, flesh-coloured, or reddish, large,

 usually with 2 opposite bracteas below each flower.
