CARA'LLIA. (From cara'llie, its name 

 in India. Nat. ord., Mangroves [Rhizo- 

 phoraceas]. Linn., ll-Dodecandria, 1- 

 monogynia}. This, like the rest of the 

 mangroves, grows only along the tropical 

 shores, where they form impenetrable 

 thickets, and send down roots from the 

 branches, like the Banian tree. In time 

 such roots raise the main trunks high 

 above their original level ; hence the 

 usual name of the order rhizophoraceae, 

 or root bearers. Cuttings and treatment 

 as for Canthiunt

5-Pentandria, 1-Digynia. Allied to Sta-

 of East Indies. Cuttings well dried, and 

 laid rather than fastened among gravely 

 and limy rubbishy soil until they strike ; 

 sandy loam, broken pots, and lime rub- 

 bish; little water given, unless when 

 growing freely. Summer temp., 60 to 

 85 ; winter, 48 to 55, and dry.

CARA'PA. (From caraipe, its name in 

 South America. Nat. ord., Meliads 

 [Meliacese]. Linn., \Q-Decandria, 1- 

 monogynia}. The flowers are small but 

 numerous, and like the rest of the meliads, 

 this genus possesses bitter astringent 

 and tonic qualities. Stove trees. Cut- 

 tings of ripened shoots, in sand, under a 

 glass, and in bottom heat ; loam and 

 peat. Summer, temp., 60 to 85 ; win-

 lied to Arabis). Like the rest of the 

 crucifers, Cardamine is antiscorbutic and 

 stimulant. All that we describe are 

 hardy herbaceous perennials, except C. 

 thalictroides, which is an annual ; seeds 

 in any common soil, provided it be moist ; 

 the herbaceous and marshy plants by 

 division ; marshy peaty soil.
