CLO 



white or yellowish dust, between two 

 leaves, &c. The chrysalis, or pupa, is 

 longish, and dark brown, in which state 

 it remains for three weeks or a month. 

 In July the moth appears ; its colour is 

 light yellow, or reddish yellow-ochre. 

 The upper wings have a darker band 

 across their middle, which band is bor- 

 dered by two light cross-lines ; the frin- 

 ges of the wings are whitish, spotted 

 with brown ; the lower wings are of a 

 uniform brownish, or light-yellow colour. 

 The male is readily known from the 

 female by his comb-like (pectinated) an- 

 tennas (feelers) and thinner body. The 

 insect flies only at night, and conse- 

 quently is rarely seen. The caterpillars 

 .often appear in considerable numbers, 

 and do not confine their ravages to fruit- 

 trees, but attack many others ; such as 

 beeches, elms, poplars, oaks, and even 

 pines. In May, when the caterpillars 

 are living in society, the nests containing 

 them should be collected and destroyed. 

 Care must be taken when collecting the 

 nest; for if the caterpillars are much 

 disturbed, they let themselves down to 

 the gi-ound by means of a thin silken 

 thread, and escape. In July their co- 

 coons should be looked for on the trees, 

 in the roofs of sheds, in hedges, and even 

 on the tops of walls." The Cottage Gar- 

 dener, i. 207. 



CLITA'NTHUS. (From klitus, a moun- 

 tainous declivity, and anthos, a flower. 

 Nat. ord., Amaryllids [Amaryllidacesej. 

 Linn., -IIexandria, \-monogynia. Allied 

 to Urceolina). Natives of Lima. They 

 will grow and flower in an open warm 

 border, to be taken up on the approach of 

 frost, and kept dry through the winter, 

 and are readily increased by offsets from 

 the old bulbs. There are believed to be 

 three species: hu mills (humble) ; lutea 

 (yellow), and macka'na (Maclean's) ; but 

 little is known about them. 



CLITO'RIA. (From kleio, to shut up ; 

 in reference to its seeding within the 

 flower long before the flower drops off. 

 Nat. ord., Leguminous Plants [Fabaceae]. 

 Linn., 1 1-Diadclphia, -Decandria. Allied 

 to Phaseolus). Stove evergreen twiners, 

 except where otherwise mentioned. Cut- 

 tings of stubby side-shoots in heat, in 

 sandy soil, under a bell-glass ; and seeds, 

 when procurable ; sandy peat and fibry
