 Linn, 4, Or.l, Nat. Or. Cinchonacem. An or- 

 namental genus, the species of which attain 

 from two to twelve feet high ; they thrive best 

 in light turfy loam, and peat soil. Being very 

 subject to the attacks of insects, great watch- 

 fulness is required to keep them clear, or the 

 plants never succeed or flower. Cuttings root 

 in sand, under a glass, in heat,

Catha, Forsk The name of this genus is said 

 to be of Arabian origin. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Celastracece. A shrub about three feet 

 high, a native of the East Indies. Its flowers 

 are green and without fragrance. It grows 

 freely in a mixture of heath mould and light 

 loam, and may be propagated by cuttings,

 Catharanthus, Don. From katharos, pure, 

 and anthos, a flower ; on account of the neat 

 and beautiful flowers. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Apocynaccas. The species of this genus are 

 well worth cultivating in every collection ■ of 

 plants. O. rdseus and its varieties succeed 

 well in common garden soil, and are readily 

 increased by cuttings or seeds. The seeds of 

 C. pxisUlus should be sown in a pot full of light 

 rich soil, and placed in a hotbed, and after- 

 wards treated as other tender annuals. Syno-

Cattleya, Lindley. In honour of "William 

 Cattley, Esq., of Barnet, Hertfordshire, a 

 famous patron of botany, and one of the most 

 ardent collectors of rare plants of his day. 

 Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacece. Some 

 of the species of this splendid genus of plants 

 are most magnificent when in flower, as O. 

 cr'ispa, labidta, and Mdssicej aud these three 

 vio with each other in the beauty of their 

 flowers : when they are well grown, each of 

 these has generally from four to six flowers on, 

 a spike ; in O. crispa the sepals and petals are 

 pure white, the latter much curled, while the 

 lip or labellum is purple in the inside, and 

 white outside. The flowers of G. labiata are 

 very large and showy, the sepals and petals 

 being a delicate rose-colour, and somewhat 

 curled; the outside of the labellum is also 

 rose-colour, and the inside blotched, and 

 striped with deep carmine. The flowers 

 of C. M6ssice very much resemble those 

 of labiatf, only they are larger, the cir- 

 cumference of the flower being about twenty- 

 four inches. All the other species are highly 

 deserving of cultivation, if only for the splen- 

 dour of their flowers. For culture and propa- 

 gation they may be referred to the StanJiopeas.
