CALLICHRdA: Layia. 

 CALLI6PSIS: Coreopsis. 



CALLIPHRURIA (Greek, beautiful prison; referring 

 to the spathe inclosing the flowers) . Written also Cali- 

 phuria. Amarylliddcese. Tender bulbs. 



Distinguished from Eucharis by the stamens, the 

 filaments being petaloid, with 3 large linear teeth on 

 top, the middle one bearing the anther. The fls. ap- 

 pear with the Ivs.; perianth funnel-shaped, spreading 

 upward; stamens inserted at the throat of the tube: 

 caps, tardily splitting. Three species from Colombia. 



Calliphrurias are warmhouse plants and should be 

 grown in a rich soil of loam, peat or leaf -mold and sand. 

 Propagated by offsets. 



Hartwegiana, Herb. Bulb ovoid, 1 in. thick, stolon- 

 iferous, with brown membranous tunics: Ivs. bright 

 green, firmer and more closely veined than in Eucharis, 

 with an oblong-acute blade 4-5 in. long, 2 in. broad, 

 narrowed into a petiole, which is flat above and round 

 beneath: scape slender, 1 ft. long; fls. 6-8, in an umbel, 

 white; perianth 1 in. long and wide. Andes of Bogota.

 Reasoner. 



C. subedentata, Baker=Eucharis subedentata. 



CALLIPR6RA: Brodisea. 



N. TAYLOR, f 



CALLIPStCHE (Greek, beautiful and butterfly}. 

 Amaryllidaceas. Three bulbous plants from Ecuador 

 and Peru, the Ivs. produced after the yellow or greenish 

 yellow fls., probably not in the horticultural trade. 

 Leaves thin, oblong and stalked: fls. many in an umbel 

 on a hollow peduncle or scape; perianth funnelform 

 with short tube, the segms. all equal and oblanceolate 

 to oblong; stamens 6, much exserted, attached at the 

 throat: fr. a deeply 3-lobed caps., with many seeds. 

 They require the general treatment given amaryllis. 

 C. mirabilis, Baker, has an oblong bulb 2 in. diam.: 

 Ivs. 1 or 2, blade 5 or 6 in. broad: peduncle 2-3 ft.; 

 fls. greenish yellow, about 30 in a dense umbel; stamens 

 three times as long as perianth and widely spreading. 

 July, Aug. C. aurantiaca, Baker, has an ovoid bulb 

 1 in. diam.: Ivs. few: peduncle 1^-2 ft.; fls. bright 

 yellow, 6-8 in the umbel; stamens green, twice the 

 length of perianth. Autumn and winter. B.M. 6841.

CALLIPTERIS (Greek, beautiful fern). Polypodiaceae. 

 Ferns allied to Asplenium and Diplazium, with elongate 

 sori formed on both sides of the veins, and the veins 

 uniting to form meshes or areoles. Some 15 species are 

 known from the warmer parts of both hemispheres. 



The following is the only one in cult. Culture the same 

 as for tropical aspleniums. 



prolifera, Bory (Asplenium decussatum, Swartz). 

 Lvs. 3-6 ft. long, the stalks 1-2 ft. long, the pinnae 

 numerous, 6-12 in. long, 1-2 in. wide, with deeply 

 crenate margins and frequently with bulblets in the 

 axils; veins pinnate, with the branches of contiguous 

 veins uniting. Polynesia and Malaya. 



L. M. UNDERWOOD. 



CALLIRHOE (Greek mythological name). Written 

 also Callirrhoe. Malvaceae. Hardy showy herbs, for out- 

 door planting. 



Perennials or annuals: Ivs. alternate, with lobed or 

 cleft blades or more finely dissected: fls. showy, axillary 

 or sometimes in terminal racemes, the petals irregu- 

 larly cut at the apex or truncate, differing in this from 

 the notched petals of Malva; involucel of 1-3 bracts, or 

 wanting. Nine species, native. 



The callirhoes are of the easiest culture, and deserv- 

 ing of a much greater popularity. They are chiefly 

 propagated by seeds, but the perennial species may 

 also be propagated by cuttings. 



744. Callirhoe pedata. 



A. Annual: involucel absent. 



pedata, Gray. Fig. 744. Height 1-3 ft.: st. erect, 

 leafy: radical and lower Ivs. round-cordate, palmately 

 or pedately 5-^7-lobed or -parted, the lobes coarsely 

 toothed or incised, upper 3-5-cleft or -parted, usually 

 into narrow divisions: fls. red-purple, cherry-red, vary- 

 ing to lilac. On plains and in sand, S. U. S., spring and 

 summer. R.H. 1857, p. 430. 



AA. Perennial: involucel present. 



involucrata, Gray. Height 9-12 in., plant hirsute or 

 even hispid: root large, napiform: sts. procumbent: 

 Ivs. of rounded outline, palmately or pedately 5-7- 

 parted or -cleft, the divisions mostly wedge-shaped, 

 incised, the lobes oblong to lanceolate: fls. crimson- 

 purple, cherry-red or paler. All summer. Minn, to 

 Texas. R.H. 1862:171 (as C. verticillata) . 



Var. linearfloba, Gray (C. lineariloba, Gray). Less 

 hirsute than the type: sts. ascending: Ivs. smaller, 

 1-2 in. across, the upper or all dissected into linear 

 lobes: fls. lilac or pinkish. Texas and adjacent Mex. 

 An excellent trailer, especially for rockeries. Thrives 

 even in very dry soils, the root penetrating to a great 

 depth. A sunny position is preferable. 



C. Papdver, Gray. A perennial decumbent or ascending plant 

 with 3-5-lobed or -parted Ivs. and involucrate purple-red fls. S.U.S. 

 Useful for very dry sandy places. jj TAYLOR t
