CalAnthe, B. Brown. From kalos, beautiful, 

 and anlhos, a flower ; literaUy a ' ' pretty 

 blossom." Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchi- 

 dacece. This is a genus of very pretty plants 

 when in flower. They require a light airy 

 part of the house, otherwise the flowers will 

 not open freely, neither will their colours be so 

 good. The plants must never be saturated 

 with water ; in every other respect they re- 

 quire the same treatment as is recommended 

 for Bletia. Synonymes : 1, Ambygldttis bicolor ;

Calathea, Meyer. The name applies to the 

 form of the stigma, and is derived from kala- 

 thos, a basket or cup. Linn. 1, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Marantaceoz. The plants of this genus are 

 interesting and ornamental. 0. zebrina is 

 much admired on account of the stripes on the 

 leaves, which resemble the marks on a zebra's 

 back ; whence the specific name. They grow 

 well in the stove, in sandy peat ; and are in- 

 creased by divisions. Synonyme ; 1, Mardmta

Calb6a, Car. Named in honour of Don L. 

 Calbo, a Spanish botanist. Linn. 5, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Convolvulacece. A genus of plants of 

 easy culture, growing in common soil, and in- 

 creased by cuttings,

Calcaeatb, spurred, having a spur.

Calceiform, like a little shoe. 



Calceolaria, Linn. Named from calceolus, 

 alluding to the form of the corolla. Linn. 2, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Scrophularidceee. This is a 

 favourite genus, and contains some very showy 

 species, from which an almost countless num- 

 ber of handsome hybrids have been raised and 

 are raising. The herbaceous and shrubby 

 kinds are chiefly cultivated. They thrive in 

 a turfy loam, peat, and sand mixed, or any 

 kind of rich, open, sandy garden mould seems 

 to suit them. The place most favourable to 

 their successful growth is a pit or frame, where 

 they must be potted and watered with judg- 

 ment. Some cultivators turn them out in the 

 flower-garden, where they make a brilliant 

 display ; others flower them in pots, with per- 

 fect success, in the greenhouse ; the latter way 

 is generally preferred for the rare and superior 

 kinds. Young cuttings planted in soil, under 

 a glass, root freely ; they are also increased 

 from seed, which it is recommended to sow as 

 soon as ripe. The annual species require to be 

 sown in heat, and when up, potted off, and 

 afterwards brought on for flowering in the 

 greenhouse. Synonymes: 1, tinctdria; 2,
