CO'OKIA. "Wampee Tree,. (Named 

 after Captain Cook, the circumnavigator. 

 Nat. Ord., Citronworts [Aurantiaceael 

 Linn., IQ-Decandria, \-monogynia. Al- 

 lied to Murraya). A fruit highly esteem- 



ed in China and the Indian Archipelago. 

 Stove tree ; cuttings of ripe shoots, in 

 March, or when best obtainable, in heat, 

 and under a bell-glass ; peat and loam. 

 Summer temp., 60 to 80 ; winter, 50 

 to 55. 



C.puncta'ta (dotted}. 15. White. China. 1795. 

 COOPE'RIA. (Named after Mr. Cooper, 

 gardener at Wentworth House, in York- 

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

 rtjllids [Amaryllidaceae]. Linn., 6-Hez- 

 andria, \-monogynia. Allied to Zephy- 

 ranthus). We would have named this 

 genus " The Evening Star." It is ano- 

 malous amongst its race for first opening 

 its starry white flowers in the cool of the 

 evening. They possess the fragrance of 

 the primrose. Although probably hardy, 

 they are best treated 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 

 but one flower, but a tuft of bulbs would 

 produce a fine effect. Offsets and seeds, 

 sown in spring , sandy loam. 



C. chloroso'len (green-tubed). 1. White, green. 

 Mexico. 1835. 



Drummo'ndii (Drummond's). 1. White, 



red. Mexico. 1835. 



peduneula'ta (Zon^-flower-stalked). White, 

 orange. July. Texas. 1835. 



COPAI'PERA. (From copaiba, the Bra- 

 zilian name for its balsamic juice the 

 balsam of capivi, and fero, to bear. 

 Nat. ord., Leguminow plants [FabaceaeJ. 

 Linn., IQ-Decandria, \-monogynia. Al- 

 lied to Cynometra). Stove evergreen 

 trees ; cuttings of firm shoots, in March, 

 in heat, under a glass ; peat and loam. 

 Summer temp., 60 to 80 ; winter, 50 

 to 55. 



C. guiane'nsis (Guiana). 30. White. Guiana. 

 1826. 



offidna'lis p (shop). 20. White. South 



America. 1774. 



CO'PTIS. (From kopto, to cut ; in re- 

 ference to the division of the leaves. 

 Nat. ord., Crowfoots [Ranunculaceael 

 Linn., \S-Polyandria, &-polygynia. Al- 

 lied to Heleborus). The roots of this 

 plant are used in the United States medi- 

 cinally, under the name of Gold Thread. 

 Hardy herbaceous perennial ; division of 

 the roots and seeds ; sandy peaty soil ; 

 requires the protection of a cold pit in 

 winter.
