CYRTOCHlLUM. Referred to Oncidium. 



CYRTODfilKA. See Episcia. 



CYRTOMIUM (Greek, a how). Polypodidcece. A 

 genus of Asiatic half-hardy or greenhouse ferns of 

 rigid habit, with simply pinnate Ivs., anastomosing 

 veins and firm indusia fixed by the depressed center. 

 Culture as for Polystichum, to which It is closely allied. 



CYBtLLA. (after Dominico Cyrillo, professor of medi- 

 cine at Naples, 173Jr-1799). CyriUHcem. Shrub, rarely 

 tree: Ivs. short-petioled, entire, glabrous, deciduous or 

 nearly persistent: fls. small, white, in narrow slender 

 racemes, 5-merous: fr. a small indehiscent 2-celled cap- 

 sule with 2 seeds. Probably one variable species from 

 N. Carolina to Florida, west to Texas, and in W. India 

 and S. America. Ornamental shrub, rarely cultivated, 

 with handsome bright green foliage, and graceful ra- 

 cemes of white fls., hardy north to New York. 

 Thrives best in humid sandy soil and shady position. 

 Prop, by seeds and cuttings under glass, with slight bot- 

 tom heat. 



raoemiJlfira, Linn. Leatherwood. Shrub, occa- 

 sionally tree to 30 ft. : Ivs. cuneate, oblong or oblanceo- 

 late, usually obtuse, reticulate-veined, 2-3 in. long, 

 bright green, turning orange and scarlet in fall, but in 

 tropical climates evergreen: racemes 4— Gin. long, erect, 

 at length nodding. B.M. 2i56. S.S. 2:51. -The variety

CYETANTHUS (Greek, curved flou-ers; from their 

 pendulous habit). Amarylliddcece. Twenty species of 

 tender bulbs from South Africa, known only in a few 

 American greenhouses. Their culture is presumably 

 like that of many other bulbs from the same region. 

 They are suitable for pot culture, or for planting out in 

 summer. The following analytical key gives an idea of 

 the group, and its three subgenera. 



A. Fls. many in an umbel, pendulous. 

 B. Lvs. strap-shaped. ( CyrtantTtus proper. ) 



obllquus. Ait. Bulb ovoid, 3-1 in. thick: lvs. 10-12, 

 strap-shaped, distichous, produced after the fls., 1 H-2 

 ft. long : scape 1-2 ft. long, stout, mottled: fls. 10-12 in 

 an umbel, entirely drooping, odorless, bright red, with 

 more or less yellow, and greenish tips 2-3 in. long; pedi- 

 cels ^-1 in. long; style not exserted. Cape Colony. B. 

 M. 1133. 



BB. I/vs. linear. (Monella.) 



MAckenii, Hook. f. Bulb IK in. thick: lvs. 2-6, ap- 

 pearing with the fls., linear, 1 ft. long: scape slender, 

 slightlv glaucous: fls. 4-10 in an umbel, pure white, 

 2 in. long; style exserted. Natal. G.C. I. 29:641. Gn. 

 50, p. 63. 



AA. Fls. sinr/le, or feic in an umbel, erect or slightly 

 curved duuiia-ard. (Gustronema.) 



BangTiineus, Hook. Bulb 2 in. thick: lvs. 3-4, appear- 

 ing with the fls., lanceolate, petioled, 1 ft. long: scape 

 slender, 6-9 in. long: fls. 1-3, bright red, 3-4 K in. long, 

 wider funnel-shaped than in the two preceding species, 

 with a throat 1 in. across. Caffraria, Natal. B.M. 5218. 



O. Hiittoni, Baker, belongs to Cyrtanthns proper, but its lvs. 

 appear with the fls., and it has 6-8 or even 12 pale red fls. about 

 1 in. long, and a much shorter style than in 0. obliguus. Cape 

 Colony. B.M. 7488. Gn. 50:1076. W, M. 



A. Margins of pinnm entire or slightly undulate. 



falcitum, J. Sm. Pig. 653. Pinna) ovate, falcate ; 

 the lower rounded or obliquely truncate at the base, 4-6 

 in. long, 1-2 in. wide. Japan and India. — The large thick, 

 glossy foliage makes it an excellent fern for decorations. 



Fdrtunei, J. Sm. Pinnae lanceolate, opaque, 2-4 in. 

 long, J.2-1 in. wide. Japan. 



B. Margins of pinnce toothed or sometimes lobed. 



caryotideum, J. Sm. Pinnte larger, 5-7 in. long, 1%-- 

 2)4 wide, often auricled on both sides at the base, 

 sharply toothed. India. L. ji. Underwood.
