CEANO'THUS. (From keanothm, a name 

 applied by Theophrastus to a plant now 

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

 nacea?]. -Linn., o-Pentandria, 1-mono- 

 gynia). Cuttings in sand, under a glass, 

 of firm side-shoots answer best, either in 

 April or August. The greenhouse varie- 

 ties 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 conservatory. 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 [Atrocarpacete]. 

 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. peltata, caoutchouc, or India 

 rubber, is obtained. Stove evergreen 

 trees ; cuttings of ripened shoots, placed 

 in sandy peat, under a bell-glass, and 

 in a moist bottom heat in April ; peat 

 and loam in a rough state, with a little 

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

 ter, 48 to 55.

CEDRONE'LLA. (A diminutive of Jced- 

 ron, the cedar; referring to the fragrant 

 resinous scent. Nat.ord.,Zafo'fcsorZeJ9- 

 ivorts [Lamiaceae]. Linn., \-Didynamia, 

 1 - Gymnospermia. Allied to Dracocepha- 

 lum). It is worthy of remark that the 

 Lipworts are all destitute of any delete- 

 rious qualities, and that most of them are 

 fragrant and aromatic as the lavender, 

 salvia, rosemary, mint, balm and hyssop, 

 &c. Greenhouse plants. Divisions of 

 the roots of the herbaceous species; cut- 

 tings of the evergreen; sandy loam and 

 a little peat. Winter temp., 38 to 40.

Canaries. 1697. This is a greenhouse 

 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 Judca. Nat. ord., Conifers [Pinacecel 

 Linn . , 2 1 - Moncecia, 10- Man adelphia) . 

 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 sow-
