530 GARDEN PLANTS. PART II. 



10. C. fragrans. A vigorous, low-growing, large-leaved plant ; 

 flowers very double, like little roses, white tinged with pink, of 

 exquisitely delicate fragrance, borne in large compact heads 

 during all the Hot and Rain seasons ; the leaves have a most 

 disagreeable fetid smell ; a very troublesome plant in the 

 border on account of its throwing up suckers to a considerable 

 distance around. 



11. C. infortunatum. A common roadside weed, very pretty, 

 however, in February and March, when bearing its large heads 

 of pinkisk-white flowers. 



12. C. nutans. A tall shrub, about eight feet high ; blossoms 

 in November with an immense profusion of large white, tubular, 

 hanging flowers, presenting a most lovely appearance. 



13. C. siphonanthus. A small shrub, native of India; blos-

 nearly always in blossom ; flowers dull light-blue, not large nor

 introduction, bearing during the Eains, in great profusion, large 

 corymbs of flowers, with white calyx, and corolla with purple 

 tube and deep-crimson limb; succeeded by purple berries 

 of the size of a pea, very ornamental with the white persistent
