CacAlia, Linn. Named from kakos, pernicious, 

 and licm, exceedingly. Limn. 19, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Aster&cece. A genus remarkable for the 

 fleshy awkward-looking stems, and discoloured 

 leaves of many of the species. They grow in 

 a mixture of sandy loam, brick rubbish, and 

 decomposed dung well reduced ; they require 

 very little water, even when growing, and the 

 pots must be well drained. . Cuttings taken 

 off, and dried for a few days to heal the wound, 

 strike readily ; when sufficiently struck, they 

 should be potted off, using the same kind of 

 soil recommended for old plants, and carefully 

 watered. Synonymes : 1, Kleinia tomentdsa ;

CActus, Linn. A name used by Theophrastus 

 to describe a spiny plant. Linn. 12, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Cactdcete. This genus is commonly 



called the melon thistle. The species are 

 very interesting in appearance, and variable 

 in structure. They succeed best in sandy 

 loam, mixed with brick and lime rubbish, and 

 a little peat, or rotten dung, at all times care- 

 fully watered. Cuttings root readily if a little 

 dried before planting. Synonyme : 1 . O. nd-

CiESALPfNiA, Plumier. In memory of Andreas

 This genus as a whole is of considerable impor- 

 tance, but the species in point of beauty have 

 little to recommend them ; they all grow well 

 in sand, peat, and open loam mixed. O. Sdp- 

 pam yields the sappan wood of India. From 

 the seeds of C. oleospSrma an oil is expressed ; 

 and the Brazil-wood of commerce is obtained 

 from the O. Brasiliensis. See Coulttria, Reich-
