CAMPSIS 



CANANGIUM 



775. Campsis chinensis on a 

 clothes-post. 



Ifts. usually 7-9, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, serrate, 

 glabrous beneath, l%-2% in. long: fls. in terminal 

 racemes; corolla funnelform-campanulate, shorter and 

 broader than that of the preceding species, scarlet, 

 about 2 in. across; calyx 5-lobed to the middle, about 

 as long as the tube of the 

 corolla: fr. obtuse at the 

 apex. Aug., Sept. China, 

 Japan. B.M. 1398; 3011. 

 F.S. 11:1124-5. Gn. 27, p. 

 94; 33, p. 348; 47, p. 373. 

 G.F. 3:393. F.R. 2:27. 

 Gng. 4:195. Less high- 

 growing and sometimes 

 shrubby; blooms when quite 

 small and can be grown as 

 a pot-plant, also suited for 

 forcing. Var. Thunbergii, 

 Voss (Tecoma Thunbergii, 

 Sieb.). Fls. bright scarlet, 

 with very short tube and 

 reflexed lobes. Often a var. 

 of C. radicans is cult, under 

 the name C. Thunbergii. 

 Var. Princei, Voss (Tecoma 

 grandiflbra var. Princei, 

 Dipp.), probably belongs to 

 the following hybrid. 



hybrida, Schneid. (Te- 

 coma hybrida, Jouin. T. 

 intermedia, Schelle. T. radicans grandiflbra atropur- 

 purea, Hort. T. Princei grandiflbra, Hort. T. chinensis 

 aurantwca, Hort.). Hybrid between the two preceding 

 species: somewhat climbing, often forming a bush with 

 straggling branches: Ifts. 7-11, ovate to elliptic-ovate, 

 usually pubescent along the veins beneath: fls. in ter- 

 minal loose panicles; calyx divided for about one-third 

 into ovate long-acuminate lobes much shorter than the 

 corolla-tube; corolla funnelform-campanulate with 

 orange-yellow tube and scarlet limb, about 2 in. across 

 and 3 in. long. July-Sept. Garden origin. S.T.S. 1:47. 

 M.D.G. 1904:123. The fls. are almost as large and 

 showy as those of C. chinensis and the plant is hardier. 



ALFRED REHDER. 



CAMPTOSORUS (Greek, bent sori, alluding to the 

 irregular arrangement). Polypodidcese. Two species of 

 hardy ferns, with simple pointed Ivs., which take root 

 at the apex, and are hence known as "walking-leaf 

 ferns." A single species is native 

 mostly on lime^bearing rocks, and 

 an allied species is known from 

 Japan and N. Asia. 



rhizophyllus, Link. Fig. 776. 

 Lvs. evergreen, simple, tapering 

 from a heart-shaped base, 4-12 

 in. long; veins forming meshes 

 near the midrib; sori 

 irregularly scattered, 

 linear, straight or 

 bent. Canada to Ala. 

 Sometimes grown 

 in rockeries and wild 

 gardens.

CANAIGRE: Rumex

CANANGIUM (Makassar, kananga; Malay . kenanga). 

 Annonacese. Perfume-yielding tropical trees. 



Closely allied to Desmos but differing in having the 

 apex of the connectives of the stamens prolonged into a 

 point, instead of being broadened into a hood-like 

 covering for the pollen-sacs: sepals 3; petals 6 in 2 

 series, valvate, nearly equal, flat, linear ; stamens many, 

 closely crowded on the convex torus, the connective 

 produced into a long tapering point; carpels indefinite, 



CANANGA:|Canon- 



776. Camptosorus rhizophyllus. 



777. Canangium odoratum. a, flowering branch ; b, stamens; 

 c, longitudinal section of fruit; d, fruit cluster. 



clustered in the center of the mass of stamens; ovules in 

 2 columns or apparently in a single column; style linear 

 or linear-oblong, terminating in an obtuse swelling; 

 ripe carpels (fr.) several, pedicelled, ovoid or oblong 

 and more or less constricted between the seeds. The 

 name Cananga, usually applied to this genus, was used 

 by Aublet in 1775 for an entirely different genus, and 

 cannot therefore be valid for the present one. Baillon 

 recognized this fact, and proposed the name Canan- 



;ium, without, however, coupling it with specific names. 



t was taken up by Sir George King in his Annonacese 

 of British India, 1893, and was applied by him to the 

 celebrated ylangylang tree, Canangium odoratum.

 MOTO-OI. Fig. 777. A tree bearing a profusion of 

 greenish yellow fragrant fls. with long narrow petals, 

 from which the celebrated ilangilang is made. The 

 tree is found in S. India, Java, the Philippines, the 

 Malay Archipelago, and many islands of the tropical 

 Pacific. It occurs spontaneously as well as in cult., and 

 its seeds are widely scattered by fruit-pigeons and other 

 birds. In the Samoan Isls. it is much beloved by the 

 natives, who make garlands of "moso'oi" with which 

 to adorn themselves, and they celebrate its fragrance 

 in their songs. The fls. yield a fragrant volatile oil 

 known in commerce as the oil of ilangilang, usua'ly 

 obtained by steam distillation. The natives use a much 

 simpler process in securing oil for anointing their 

 heads and bodies. Fls. are p'ut into coconut oil and, 

 after remaining a short time, are replaced by fresh ones,
