CODDLING. 



A gardener*! term, which is used contemptuously 

 to denote the application of undue heat or care to 

 a plant which would do better without it. Coddled 

 plants are invariably leggy and spindly, and con- 

 trast very unfavourably with the sturdy, robust 

 specimens produced under a cooler course of treat- 

 ment. Coddling must not be confounded with 

 " nursing," which is often resorted to to restore a 

 plant whose health is somewhat precarious. 



CODIjEUM. 



This is a genus (ord. Euphorbiaceie) of com- 

 paratively l'c\v species, but numerous garden-raised 

 forms. They are known in gardens as Cretans, 

 anil in a popular dictionary such as the present 

 they are dealt with under the familiar name. Some 

 attempt is occasionally made in gardens to draw a 

 distinctive line between the two genera bv classing 

 the broad-leaved types as Codianims, anil the 

 narrow, twisted-leaved ones as Crotons. But 

 strictly speaking all are Codiasums. {S:'c CUOTON.) 



CODLIN MOTH {nee APPLE ENEMIES). 



CODONANTHE. 



Including Coccanthera, and part of Hypocyrta 

 (in-//. Gesneracejo). Stove herbaceous plants of 

 creeping habit. They answer to the same treatment 

 as Gesnera, which see. 



Only Species Introduced : 

 gracilis, Je., creamy wh. (syn. Hypocyrta gra- 

 cilis), thick, fleshy leaves. 



CODONOPSIS. 



Formerly Glosocornia. A genus of herbs (ord. 

 Campanulaceic) embracing twelve species, hardy 

 or half-hardy. Increased by root division for the 

 perennials ; seeds for the annuals. Any good 

 garden soil will do, but it should be well drained, 

 and the position sheltered, though not shaded. 



Principal Species : 



clematitlea, 2' to 3', sum.,

 some botanists as a 

 var. of ovata.

CCELIA (syn. BOTHRIOCKILUS).

 some beauty. They answer to the same cultural 

 treatment as Epidendrums.

CCELIOPSIS. 



Epiphytal Orchids (tiril. Orchidaceai). They 

 flourish under the same treatment as Epidendrums, 

 which see. Hyacinthosma, white, crimson, and 

 orange, has Pear-shaped pseudo-bulbs and delicious 

 Hyacinth-scented flowers. It thrives in either a 

 cool house or stove.

beautiful. Almost all are of low growth, with 

 Mrms of distinctly creeping habit : mi thfsp stems 

 the thii'k rounded or angular pseudo-bulbs develop 

 from the new growths, each carrying a pair of 

 green, strap - shaped leaves. Although a few 

 species produce their flowers singly, the majnritv 

 bear theirs in elegant pendulous or semi-pendulous 

 racemes. In colour the flowers show considerable 

 variation, but are mostly green, brown, or white.
