-CERCOCA'EPUS. (From Jterkos, a shut- 

 tlecock, and carpos, & fruit. Nat. ord., 

 Boseworts [Kosaceee]. Linn., 12-Jcosa/z- 

 dria \-Mono(jynia. Allied to Geum and 

 Pursbia.) 



There is no unwholesome plant in this order ; 

 and the strawberry, raspberry, and the black- 

 berry of the bramble, are the nearest plants in 

 affinity to the rose itself. Then come the Poten- 

 tilla, Geum, and Agrimonia, among which stands 

 Cercocarpus, followed by the Spiraeas and Quil- 

 laiads. Greenhouse evergreen shrub. Cuttings 

 of green shoots in sand, under a glass, in a little 

 heat. Peat and loam. Winter temp., 40 to 45. 

 C. Pother gilloi'des (Fothergilla-like). 12. Purple. 

 May. Mexico. 1828. 



CE'KEUS. Torch Thistle. (From cereus, 

 waxy ; referring to the fact that some of 

 the spines are as pliant as soft wax, while- 

 others are as brittle as wax tapers. Nat. 

 ord., Indian Figs [Cactacese]. Linn., 12- 

 Icosundria I-Monogynia.) 



Cuttings, at any time, of either old or young 

 shoots ; the latter are the best, if the base of the 

 cutting is well dried. Instead of inserting them 

 firmly in sand, they do best when laid among 

 rough material, such as peat charcoal, leaf -mould, 

 and brick and lime-rubbish. They aie generally 

 described as stove plants ; but, unless when they 

 are just making their wood, they will endure a 

 Tery low temperature, if kept dry. Unless for 

 the winter-flowering varieties, and those desired 

 to bloom at that season, no water will be requi- 

 site from October to March, if kept cool. Sandy 

 loam, turfy peat, half-parts of lime-rubbish and 

 dried cow-dung. Water freely when growing, 

 and when in bloom. Summer temp., 55 to 85 ; 

 winter, 35 to 50.
