Io TREES AND SHRUBS 

CALYCANTHACE. Calycanthus Family. 
Shrubs with opposite leaves; flower-leaves (sepals and petals) resembling 
one another on the same flower, often many of them; fruit hollow like a rose- 
hip. Flower mostly dull-colored, large, usually highly aromatic, as is also the 
wood. 
Calycanthus. CAROLINA ALLSPICE, SWEET-SCENTED SHRUB. “ Flowers 
livid purple or dull red, soé¢avy in the axils [of the leaves] or terminating 
leafy branches.” 
Calycanthus floridus, Zzzn@us. Oval leaves, downy on the under sur- 
face. The common “shrub” of the gardens. Native of the States to the south 
of us, where the bark is said to be used as a substitute for cinnamon. 
Calycanthus glaucus, W7//denow. The taper-pointed leaves glaucous- 
white on the under surface and slightly rough above, 5 to 6 inches long. 
From the mountains of the Southern States. 
Calycanthus levigatus, Wi//denow. Oblong leaves thin, green, and nearly 
smooth on either surface. Found from Southern Pennsylvania southward. 
Calycanthus occidentalis, Hooker and Arnott. Leaves ovate, heart- 
shaped at base, large, green on either surface, and slightly rough on the upper 
one; flowers brick-red, 3 inches across. Native of California. 
Chimonanthus. Flowers yellowish or purplish, growing along shoots 
from which the leaves have fallen. Our single species in the Park is 
Chimonanthus fragrans, Zzzd/ey. A half-climbing shrub from Japan, 
with lance-shaped, pointed, smooth leaves; flowers small, but fragrant. Long 
known in catalogues as Calycanthus precox. Barely hardy here. 
CAMELLIACE. Tea Family. 
Woody plants, with alternate, feather-veined leaves ; flowers large and hand- 
some, usually growing in the axils of the leaves; fruit a thick or woody 5- 
celled, 5- or more seeded pod; petals often united at the base. 
Stuartia pentagyna, Z’/éritier. A fine shrub from the mountains of the 
Southern States, with whitish, cream-colored flowers 3 inches across, the sepals 
of which are slightly tinged outside with red; styles 5. Hardy. Stuartia 
Faponica is also in the collection. The well-known Camellias belong here, 
as also the Tea-plant of commerce: the latter is fairly hardy in the Southern 
United States, and may sometime become of importance there. 
CAPRIFOLIACEZ. Honeysuckle Family. 
Shrubs (as a rule) with calyx and ovary united, the latter 2- to 5-celled; 
stamens of the same number as, and borne on, the petals, which are more or
