CAKTOPHTLL10EJL, or Clove-wovts. An order 

 containing many species ; a few bear hand- 

 some flowers, the carnation and pink for ex- 

 amples, but the most part are not worth cul- 

 tivating. 

 Caryophylltjs, linn. From karyon, a nut, 

 and phyllon, a leaf ; referring to the appear- 

 ance of the flower-buds. Linn. 12, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Myrtacem. The species aromdticus 

 grows to about twenty feet high, and produces 

 the article known as cloves. It grows best in 

 a mixture of sandy peat aud loam, in a strong 

 steady heat. The plants are rather scarce, 

 owing to the difficulty of keeping them in 

 winter ; cuttings in sand root readily under a 

 glass, in a moist heat.
