CLEOME (meaning unknown). CapparidAcea. A 

 large and mostly tropical genus of sub-shrubs or annual 

 herbs, simple or branched, glabrous or glandular, with 

 simple lvs. or 3-7 Ifts., and white, yellow or purplish 

 fls. borne singly or in racemes. The genus is dis- 

 tinguished from Gynandropsis by its short torus, which 

 oftfn bears an a,.p..ndnge. an,l by the 4-6, rarely 10, 



stamens. Tlir --m "•■ - ■■" ' 'I'l.lly uitrrestmg

 has lately been planted considerably in public parks 

 amongst shrubbery. Prop, by seeds, which are produced 

 freely in long, slender pods borne on long stalks. *or 

 C. speciosa, see Gynandropsis. 



apinosa, Jacq. (C. puBffens, Willd.). Giant Spider 

 Plant. Claramv, strong-scented, 3-4 ft. high : Ifts. 

 usually 5, sometimes 7, oblong-lanceolate, with a pair of 

 short, stipular spines under the petioles of most of the 

 lvs and in the tropics some little prickles on the petioles 

 also: fls. rose-purple, varying to white ; petals 4, obo- 

 vate, clawed, H in. long; stamens 2-3 in. long, blue or 

 purple. N. C. to La. (nat. from Trop. Amer.) and es- 

 caped from gardens. B.M. 1640.-A tender biennial 

 north, but annual in the tropics. 



integriJolia, Torr. & Gray. Rocky Mountain Bee- 

 plant. Glabrous, 2-3 or even 6-ft. high: Ift^. 3, lanceo- 

 late to obovate-oblong. entire, or rarely with a few mi- 

 nute teeth: bracts much narrower than in C. spinosa; 

 petals rose, rarely white, 3-toothed: receptacle with a 

 flat, conspicuous appendage. Along streams m saline 

 soils of prairies. -In cult, about 20 years as a bee plant, 

 specioslsaima, Deppe. Annual or half-shrubby, some- 

 times 5 ft. high : stems strongly hairy; Ifts. 5-7, lanceo- 

 late, dentate, narrowed at the base, conspicuously hairy 

 on both sides: fls. light purple or purplish rose. July 

 to fall. — Said to be the showiest of Cleomes. Under 

 this name a very different plant is passing, the Ifts. of 

 which have only minute hairs but rather numerous 

 spines. W. M. 



CLEEODfiNDBON (Greek, chance and tree: of no sig- 

 nificance). Includes Siphonantha and Volkameria. 

 Verben&cea;. Many species in the tropics, and also in 

 China and Jap. Some of them are greenhouse climbers; 

 others are hardy shrubs ; others are almost herbaceous.
