 COO'KIA. Wampee-tree. (Named after 



Captain Cook, the circumnavigator. Nat. 

 ord., Citronworts [Aurantiacese]. Linn., 

 W-JDecandria 1-Monogynia. Allied to 

 Murray a.) 



A fruit highly esteemed in China and the Indian 

 Archipelago. Stove tree; cuttings of ripe shoots 

 in March, or when best obtainable, in heat, and 



nder a bell-glass; peat and loam. Summer 

 temp., 60 to 80; winter, 50 to 55. 

 C. puncta'ta (dotted). 15. W^hite. China. 1795. 



COOPE'EIA. (Named after Mr. Cooper, 

 gardener at Wentworth House, in York- 

 shire, for many years. Nat. ord., Ama- 

 ryllids [Amaryllidacese]. Linn., Q-Hex- 

 indrlu \-Honoyynia. Allied to Zephy- 

 ranthus.) 



We would have named this genus " The Plven- 

 ng Star." It is anomalous amonrst its race for 

 irst opening its starry-white flowers in the cool of 

 the evening. They possess the fragrance of the 

 primrose. Although probably hard)', they are best 

 ireated as half-hardy, in a border of deep, sandy 

 soil, under a west wall, where they flower all the 

 summer, and produce seeds. Each stalk produces 

 " ut one flower ; but a tuft of bulbs would pro- 

 duce a fine effect. Offsets and seeds, sown in 

 spring ; sandy loam.
