COREMA (Greek, a broom, in allusion to its bushy 

 habit). Empetrdcese. BROOM CROWBERRY. Two spe- 

 cies of low heath-like shrubs from E. N. Amer. and S. W. 

 Eu. and the Atlantic Isls., of which the American spe- 



cies is rarely cult, in botanical collections. Closely allied 

 to Empetrum and differing chiefly in the apetalous fls. 

 arranged in terminal heads, and in their upright bushy 

 habit. Cult, and prop, like Empetrum. C. Conradii, 

 Torr., is a much-branched shrub, to 2 ft. high, with 

 crowded linear Ivs. about Hin. long : fls. inconspicuous, 

 in terminal heads, the staminate with long exserted 

 purple stamens: fr. a small berry-like drupe, usually with 

 3 nutlets. H.I. 6:531. Hardy 

 N. C. album, D. Don, has 

 obtuse Ivs. with revolute edges 

 and resinous dots: fls. pink: fr. 

 white to purple. S. W. Eu.,

COREOPSIS (Greek, signifying bug-like, from the 

 fruit). Including Calliopsis. Composites. TICKSEED. 

 Annual or perennial herbs, flowering in summer or 

 autumn, nearly all natives of eastern North America, 

 some of them popular as flower-garden subjects. 



Leaves opposite or rarely alternate: heads pedun- 

 culate and radiate; the broad involucre with bracts of 

 2 distinct series, the outer narrower or shorter and 

 more herbaceous, the inner broad triangular-ovate or 

 oblong, thin, yellowish green or purplish, and striate; 

 receptacle chaffy; rays very showy, yellow, particolored 

 or rarely rose, neutral; disk-fls. yellow, dark or brown; 

 pappus of 2 weak bristles or scales, or a low crown or 

 none: achenes often winged. The genus differs from 

 Bidens only in the reduced or obsolete, not stiff-awned 

 pappus, and If .-segms. not serrate. Many of the species 

 are in the trade under the name Calliopsis. Other 

 genera with this peculiar involucre are Hidalgoa, Dah- 

 lia, Thelesperma, Cosmos, and Leptosyne. All the kinds 

 are of easiest cult. The perennials are hardy border 

 plants. The annuals are raised in any garden soil, and 

 bloom freely with little care. They are all showy 

 plants, of 50-70 species.
