CODLIN. Used in England to mean a small, green, 

 half-wild, inferior apple. It is used in distinction to 

 grafted or dessert fruit. It is about equivalent to the 

 American popular use of the word "crab." The word 

 is also used in England as the name of a particular 

 variety or group of varieties, as Keswick Codlin. The 

 word codlin is known in America only in connection 

 with the apple-worm insect, the codlin-moth. Some- 

 times written Codling. 



CODONANTHE (Greek for bellflower). Gesneracese. 

 A dozen or more trailing or scandent herbs or sub- 

 shrubs of Brazil, Guiana, Cent. Amer., and W. Indies, 

 1 or 2 of which may be found in choice collections of 

 stove plants. Plants with long branches, opposite 

 entire and fleshy or thick mostly small Ivs., and whitish 

 fls. borne singly in the axils: corolla with a declined or 

 curved tube, the throat broad or open, and the limb 

 with 5 rounded nearly equal lobes, exceeding the 5 

 narrow lobes of the calyx; stamens attached in corolla- 

 tube, not exserted: fr. berry-like. C. grdcilis, Hanst., 

 with creamy white spotted orange fls. and Ivs. often 

 blotched red beneath, is the species most likely to be 

 seen. Cult, of Gesneria and similar things. L. H. B. 



CODONOPSIS (Greek, bell-like, alluding to the 

 shape of the flowers). Campanutdceae. Twining or 

 decumbent perennials, more or less hardy in the open, 

 with showy blue, whitish or greenish flowers. 



Herbs, with tuberous rhizomes: Ivs. alternate or 

 irregularly opposite, petiolate, mostly crenate: fls. 

 axillary or terminal, stalked; calyx-tube hemispherical, 

 the limb 5-parted and the lobes leafy; corolla-tube 

 broadly tubular or bell-shaped, 5-parted (rarely 4- or 

 6-parted); stamens free, the filaments dilated at base; 

 stigma 3-5-lobed: fr. a dry or somewhat fleshy 3-5- 



valved caps. Eighteen or 20 species in Cent, and 

 E. Asia. A few of the species may occur in choice 

 border-collections; they need protection N. 



ovata, Benth. Six to 12 in., decumbent and branches 

 becoming erect: Ivs. ovate, small (%in. or less long), 

 both alternate and opposite, acute or obtuse, hairy, 

 short-petioled: fls. pale blue, speckled inside, IJ^in. or 

 less long, broadly bell-shaped, on long terminal pedun- 

 cles. Himalayas. Offered in England; half -hardy to- 

 hardy.

 hardiest: Ivs. ovate-acuminate, petioled: fls. white tinged blue.

 bright blue, 1 in. across, numerous. Upper Burma. C. lanceoldta, 

 Benth. & Hook. (Campanumsea lanceolata, Sieb. & Zucc.). Twin- 

 ing, 2-3 ft.: fls. hanging, greenish white and purple-veined, 1-2 

 in. long and 1 in. wide, in a short simple raceme: Ivs. alternate, 

 oblong-lanceolate, nearly or quite entire. Burma, China. F.S. 

 9:927. C. Tdngshen, Oliver. Climbing, with long thickened rhi- 

 zome, the sts. slender and 2 ft. or more long: Ivs. ovate or broad-

CCELIA (Greek, koilos, hollow: referring to the pol- 

 len masses). Orchidacex. Epiphytic orchids of minor 

 importance; culture of Epidendrum. 



1020. Coelia Baueriana. 



The ccelias are divided into 2 strongly marked 

 groups with widely different kinds of infl. C. macro- 

 stachya is a type of the first section, with long racemes 

 of numerous small, horizontal fls., which are much 

 exceeded by the long spreading bracts, and the base 

 of the column short. C. bella is typical of the second 

 section, with the fls. few, larger, erect, in groups of 

 about 3, longer than their bracts, and the base of the 

 column produced to twice its own length, which gives 

 the fls. a tubuldr appearance. A half-dozen speciea 

 in Cent, and S. Amer. 



A. Fls. small, in a long raceme. ' 

 macrostachya, Lindl. Pseudobulbs 2J^ in. long, 

 almost round, with brown scales at the base: Ivs. 

 about 3, from the top of the pseudobulb, 1 ft. or more 

 long, lanceolate, arching, broader than in C. bella, and 

 not channeled: sepals red; petals white. Mex. R.H.

 long, 2-3-lvd.: Ivs. 10-18 in. long, linear, acute: 

 racemes of numerous small white fragrant fls.; ovary 

 3-winged; sepals ovate-lanceolate, the petals ovate- 

 oblong; lip with the claw yellow, the blade triangular.

 stricted at the top: Ivs. 6-10 in. long, narrower, chan-
