CEANO'THUS. (From keanothm, a name 

 applied by Theophrastus to a plant now 

 not known. Nat. ord., Rhamnads [Rham- 

 naceae]. Linn., b-Pentandria l-Mono- 

 gi/n-ia.) 



'Cuttings in sand, under a glass, of firm side- 

 shoots answer best, either in April or August. 

 The greenhouse varieties do well against a south 

 wall, but may require a little protection in severe 

 weather. Those from tropical regions require the 

 usual treatment of the stove, or a warm conserva- 

 tory. They are not particular as to soil ; a little 

 peat mixed with loam will be an advantage.

CECRO'PIA. Snake-wood. (A classical 

 name, after Cecrops, first king of Athens, 

 who built that city, and called it Cecropia. 

 Nat. ord., Atrocarpads [Atrocarpacese]. 

 Linn., 22-Dicecia 2-Diandria.) 



All the Atrocarpads abound in milky juice, by 

 which they are easily distinguished from the 

 Nettleworts, with which they are allied. From 

 many of the genera, and from C. peita'ta, caout- 

 chouc, or India rubber, is obtained. Stove ever- 

 green trees ; cuttings of ripened shoots, placed 

 in sandy peat, under a hell -glass, and in a moist 

 bottom-heat, in April; peat and loam in a rouga 

 state, with a little sand. Summer temp., 60 to 

 85 ; winter, 48 to 55. 

 C. co'ncolor (one-coloured). 20. Brazil. 1822. 



palma'ta (hand-teaved). 20. Brazil. 1820. 



pelta'ta (shield-teawed). 30. Jamaica. 1/78. 



CEDRONE'LLA. (A diminutive of kediot>, 

 the cedar; referring to the fragrant, 

 resinous scent. Nat. ord., Labiates or Lip- 

 worts [Lamiaceae]. Linn., I'L-Didynamla 

 I-Gymnospermia. Allied to Dracocepha- 

 lum.) 



It is worthy of remark that the Lipworts arc 

 all destitute of any deleterious qualities, and that 

 most of them are fragrant and aromatic as the 

 lavender, salvia, rosemary, mint, balm, and hys- 

 sop, &c. Greenhouse plants. Divisions of the 

 roots of the herbaceous species; cuttings of Me 

 evergreen ; sandy loam and a little peat. Winter 

 temp., 38 to 40.

tryphy'Ua (three-leaved). Pale purple. July. 



Canaries. 1697. This is a greenhcuss 

 evergreen shrub ; but all the others are 

 herbaceous perennials. 



CE'DRUS. The Cedar. (From the 

 Arabic kedron, or kedree, power; in re- 

 ference to its majestic appearance ; but 

 some have supposed from Cedron, a brook 

 in Judea. Nat. ord., Conifers [Pinaceae]. 

 Linn., 2l-Moncecia IQ-Monadelphia.) 



Hardy evergreen trees. Seeds, saved in the 

 cones, extracted by steeping the cones in water, 

 and boring a hole down their centre so as to split 

 them, and sowing in sandy soil, in March; also 

 by cuttings, under a hand-light ; and the deoda'ra 

 by inarching and grafting on the common Cedar, 

 and on the Larch ; but it is doubtful if the latter 

 will answer as a stock ; deep, sandy soil. 

 C. Africa'nus (African. Mount Atlas Cedar). May. 

 Mount Atlas. 1843. 



deoda'ra (deodara). 120. Nepaul, 1822. 

 There are other varieties of this crasni/i/'tn
