KENTIOPSIS. 



Stove Palms (ord. Palrnsr), closely allied to, and 

 to some extent resembling, Kentia. They require 

 similar treatment to Kentias and Howeas, but arc- 

 not very largely grown. 



Principal Species : 

 macrocar] a . oliva-formis. 



called Corchorus japonicus. Cuttings of young 

 shoots root quickly, and soon make flowering 

 plants. Almost any sort of garden soil suits. 

 After flowering it is a good plan to thin out old 

 flowering shoots. Both the type and the double 

 form are excellent plants for early forcing. 



KETELEERIA. 



A small genus of hardy evergreen Conifers (ord. 

 Coniferse) allied to Abies, and until recently in- 

 cluded in that genus. For cultural details, refer 

 to ABIES and PINUS (syns. Abies, Picea, and Pinus 

 Fortunei, and Abies jezoensis). 



Principal Species : 



davidiana, 5" to 6" long, 

 2J" in diameter, cones 

 pendent ; a tall, spread- 

 ing tree. 



Fortunei, a curious Coni- 

 fer, very rare in culti- 

 vation. 



THE POPULAU PALM KENTIA BELMOH.EANA, NOW CALLED BY BOTANISTS KOWEA BELMOKEANA. 



KERRIA. 



One species only, japonica (ord. Ros-aceae), is 

 -known. It is a handsome, hardy shrub, grow- 

 ing 4' to 10 7 high, with pretty golden blossoms 1" 

 .across, produced in April and May. There are 

 two varieties in .cultivation, one, much dwnrfer 

 than the type, called variegata by reason of its 

 white variegated leaves ; the other a very strong, 

 double-flowered form called flore pleno. The 

 latter was introduced many years before the 

 typical plant, and was a great puzzle to botanists 

 to name. For a long while it was thought to be a 

 species of Corchorus, and by some people is still

 racemes of showy flowers. Although a number of 

 species are known, very few are in cultivation.
