140 BRECK’S NEW BOOK OF FLOWERS. 
CALCEOLARIA.—Lavy's Suirrer. 
[From calceolus, a slipper, in allusion to the shape of the corolla.] 
Calceolaria pinnata.—This species, a native of Peru, 
may be raised from seed in a hot-bed in spring, and trans- 
planted to the borders with other tender annuals. The 
regions of Chili and Peru abound in many splendid spe- 
cies, from which very beautiful hybrids have been pro- 
duced; but all are too tender and delicate for out-door 
culture, unless planted in a sheltered situation. 
CALENDULA. 
[So named because it may be found in flower during the calends of each 
month, or, which is the same thing, during every month of the year. This can- 
not be the case in our climate.] 
Calendila officindlis.—Pot Marigold.—A hardy annu- 
al, common to the gardens time out of mind, and form- 
erly much used in soups and broths. Flowers deep 
orange, and continue all the season. Some of the double 
varieties are very handsome. C. ranunculoides superba, 
and C. sulphurea, are highly improved varieties ; one with 
bright orange, the other with ‘sulphur-colored flowers, 
very large and double; as they are always in bloom, they 
are a great addition to the flower-garden. 
CALLIRRHOE. 
Callirroé pedata, 2 handsome annual, introduced from 
Texas, two feet high, with crimson mallow-shaped flow- 
ers. C. verticillata, is double the size of C. pedata, and 
very beautiful; a perennial or biennial.
