CLEOME (meaning unknown). Capparidcicew. A 

 large and mostly tropical genus of sub-shrubs or annual 

 herbs, simple or branched, glabrous or glandular, with 

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

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

 tinguished from Gynandropsis by its short torus, which 

 often bears an appendage, and l.y tho l-i., rarely 10, 

 stamens. The garden Cleonus ar.- .liii ll\ intrre'sting 

 for their long, purple, spidery stani. us ami showy rose- 

 colored petals. They succeed in s.m.ly s.iiis ainl'sunny 

 situations, and can be used like lasior ..il j. hints to fill 

 up large gaps in a border. ('. .s/.,)i..,v,, is th.- Iiest, and 

 has lately been planted cons 

 amongst shrubbery. Prop, by; 

 freely in long, sh-n.h-r jiods b 



ill pulilic parks 

 lich are produced 

 long stalks. For 



spinosa, Ja.ii. I r. /..i/,./. lis, Willd.). Giant Spider 

 Plant. Clamniy, str.lIl^ sn-uted, 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 

 Ivs., and in the tropics some little prickles on the petioles 

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

 vate, clawed, }^ 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. 



integrifdUa, Torr. & Gray. Rocky Mountain Bee- 

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

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

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

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

 flat, conspicuous appendage. Along streams in saline 

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



speciosissima, 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 diiferent plant is passing, the Ifts. of 

 which have only minute hairs but rather numerous 

 spines. yf jji_ 



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

 nificance). Includes Siphonanthu and I'olkameria. 

 \'erben<)ce(e. Many species in the tropics, and also in 

 China and Jap. Some of them are greeulmnse climbers; 

 others are hardy shrubs ; others are almost herbaceous.
