CAEAMBOLA. See.4!frr7ioa. 



CAEAWAY (CArtm Cdrni, Linn.). UmbelUfero!. 

 A biennial or annual herb grown for its seeds, which 

 are used in flavoring bread, cakes and cheese ; also oc- 

 casionally for the young shoots and leaves, which are 

 eaten. It grows a foot or two high, has finely-cut, pin- 

 nately compound foliage, and small white "flowers in 

 umbels. It is of the easiest culture. The seed is usu- 

 ally sown in spring and the crop of seed taken the fol- 

 lowing year. It thrives in any garden soil. The plant 

 occasionally runs wild. See Garum. 



CAEB£NIA (name of doubtful meaning). Conipds- 

 ita. Blessed Thistle. A monotypio genus allied to 

 Centaurea, and distinguished from it botanically by 

 involucre, achenes, pappus and anthers. Its habit in 

 the garden is very different from the Bachelor's But- 

 tons, being thistle-like, and moi-e interesting than orna- 

 mental. A hardy annual, low-growing herb, rough, 

 branching and pilose. Once thought to counteract poi- 

 son. Culture easy. Fit for wild gardens and rockeries. 



benedicta, Adans. (Cirduus henedlctus , Authors. 

 Cnicus benedlchis, Linn. Centaurea benedicta, Linn.). 

 Fig. 358. Height2ft. : Ivs. alternate, sinuate-pinnatifld, 

 the lobes and teeth spiny: fls. terminal, yellow, 1 in. 

 wide. Mediterranean regions and Caucasus. Sometimes 

 cult. ; also rarely seen in waste places of southern Atlantic 

 states and Calif, as a weed adventive from Eu. 



CAEDAMINE (Greek name of a cress). Crticlferce. 

 Small perennials growing in low, rich land, blooming in 

 spring or early summer. Petals obovate or spatulate ; 

 pods linear and straight, the wingless seeds in 1 row. 



pratfinsis, Linn. Cuckoo Flower. Plant slender and 

 usually glabrous, 12-20 in., somewhat branched : Ivs. 

 pinnately divided; lfts. of root Ivs. small and rounded 

 (Yz in. or less across), those of the upper stem-lvs. ob- 

 long or even linear and entire or somewhat toothed : 

 fls. )4. in. long, in a corymb, white or rose-color, pretty. 

 Eu. and Amer., in the northern parts. — In the gardens 

 it is chiefly known in the doul.>le-fld. form, which prob- 

 ably has been obtained from European rather than 

 American sources. There are other forms of it. It is 

 an excellent little plant to grow in moist places, particu- 

 larly along creeks and about springs. It is also useful 

 in drier places, as in rockeries. 



angul4ta, Hook. Erect, 1-2 ft. high: Ivs. 3-5-f olio- 

 late, the lfts. ovate or oblong and the middle one usu- 

 ally coarsely toothed : fls. rather large, white, in short, 

 few-fld. racemes. Mts. of Ore. and Wash. -Int. 1881 by 

 Gillett. 



0. gemmdta, int. by Pilkington, 1892, is evidently Dentaria 

 macrocarpa. Xj. 



CARDAMON. See A 



CAEDIANDEA (Greek, heart, and manor stamen: 

 alluding to the shape of the anthers). SaxifragcLcem. 

 Low deciduous shrub, allied to Hydrangea, with alter- 

 nate, rather large Ivs. : fls. in terminal, loose corymbs, 

 small, those of the margin large, radiant and sterile. 

 One species in S. Japan and China. Tender and suffruti- 

 cose, thriving in any good garden soil ; best in a partly 

 shaded position. Prop, by greenwood cuttings under 

 glass. 



altemifdlia, Sieb. & Zucc. 1-3 ft.: Ivs. broadly ellip- 

 tic to elliptic-lanceolate, tapering into a very short
