Calochortus 



( 159 ) 



Calophyllum 



Aster steins, or similar material, which ought to 

 remain until February or March. They must not 

 suffer from dry weather while in growth. Frame 

 culture i- ccTt;iinIy the best in most gardens. The 

 bulbs may be planted as recommended for open-air 

 cultivation, and when the plants begin to grow 

 they must have plenty of air. Calochorti planted 

 in pots should be kept in a cold frame until they 

 show flower, always giving them a sufficiency of 

 air.

CALODENDRON. 



A tall tree with spreading branches in twos or 

 threes (ord. Rutacese), large, oblong leaves, and 

 handsome, branched panicles of pink flowers. Prop- 

 agation is effected by cuttings of half-ripe wood in 

 a propagating case or in pots of soil plunged in 

 bottom heat and covered with a bell-glass. The 

 large seeds are also used, but the trees are longer 

 in coming into bloom. Sandy loam will suit the 

 tree, whether grown in pots in the greenhouse or 

 planted out in the cool conservatory with plenty of 

 head room. 



Only Species : 



capensis, 10' to 50', Je., Jy., grh., pk. 



CALOPHACA. 



Pretty, hardy shrubs, with yellow, Pea-shaped 

 flowers (ord. Legurainosse), of deciduous habit. 

 They grow in any good soil, and are propagated by 

 seeds or by grafting on the Laburnum or allied 

 species. The species in general cultivation is 

 wolgarica, 3', June, yellow. 



CALOPHANES. 



Perennial herbaceous or shrubby plants (ord. 

 Acanthaceae), for border or greenhouse cultivation. 

 They are propagated by seeds, sown in spring, or 

 by division in spring or autumn. Almost the only 

 species at present in cultivation is oblongifolius, 

 which is a hardy border plant, growing from 6" to- 

 15" high, with rather downy leaves, and blue or 

 purplish flowers in August. It likes a dry, sandy 

 soil. 



CALOPHYLLUM. 



A genus of stove trees allied to the Mammee 

 Apple (ord. Guttiferse) and characterised by 

 having finely feather-nerved, leathery, dark green 

 leaves. Increase is secured by cuttings of fairly 

 firm shoots in a propagating case. Use fibrous 

 loam, a third of peat, and plenty of sand.
