100 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
Caffeillo. See Drypetes alba and D. glauca. 
Evidently another spelling of ‘‘cafetillo.”’ According to Captain Hansard 
caffeillo is a wood haying a specific gravity of 0.85 and is not much used. The 
flowers are fragrant. : 
Cafetillo. See Casearia nitida and Faramea odoratissima. 
A tree from the interior of the island; height, 30 to 35 feet (9 to 11 meters); 
diameter, 15 inches (37 centimeters). Wood yellowish, hard; specific gravity 
0.840: used for lumber. (Grosourdy, 2: 368.) (Exp. 1857.) 
Caillo. 
Probably intended for ‘‘cadillo.”” At Santurce Corchorus hirsutus and 
Xanthium canadense, and at Quebrada Arenas Triumfetta semitriloba were 
called ‘* caillo.”’ 
Caimitillo. See Chrysophyllum monopyrenum and C. glabriwn. 
A tree from all parts of the island; height, 20 to 25 feet (6 to 8 meters); diame- 
ter, 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 centimeters). Wood, white, hard; specific gravity, 
0.012 (1.01272); used in making laths. (Exp. 1857.) 
Captain Hansard says that the wood is used for shingles and barrel staves. The — 
tree is similar to the star-apple or caimito, but the fruit is only half the size. 
Grosourdy gives this as the common name in Porto Rico and Cuba of Chryso- 
phyllum microphyllum and C. oliviforme. Both of these names are treated as 
synonyms of C. monopyrenum and C. cainito. He describes it as a tree growing 
wild and reaching 40 to 45 feet (12 to 14 meters) in height, with a trunk 18 to 20 
inches (45 to 50 centimeters) in diameter. Furnishes a wood of good weight and 
more than ordinary durability, rather compact and fibrous in texture and rather * 
fine-grained. Dirty white in color or sometimes somewhat chocolate. The wood 
is used ordinarily for shingles and bowls. It might also be used for carpenter 
work. (Grosourdy, 2: 368.) 
Caimito. See Chrysophyllum cainito. 
A tree from all parts of the island; height 30 to 35 feet (9 to 11 meters); diame- 
ter 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 centimeters). Wood, violet; hard; specific gravity, — 
0.194; little used. (Exp. 1857.) 
Cainito. See Chrysophyllum cainito. 
According to Captain Hansard the specific gravity is 0.85. 
Cajanus bicolor. See Cajanus cajan. 
Cajanus cajan. GANDUL. 
Family Leguminosae; perennial shrub growing from 3 to 10 feet (1 to 3 meters) 
high, but treated as an annual in cultivation. Bello calls Cajanus bicolor “ gan- 
dures.”’ (Stahl, 3: 55.) 
Cajou. See Anacardiwm occidentale. 
Cakile aequalis. See Cakile maritima. 
Cakile maritima. MosTaAciILLA DEL MAR. 
A seaside herbaceous plant related to mustard; the common name means “‘ sea-_ 
Aw 
mustard.’’? (Stahl, 2: 37.) 
Calabash nutmeg. See Monodora myristica. 
Calabash tree. See Crescentia cujete. 
Calabaza. See Cucurbita pepo. 
Caladium. CARA DE CABALLO. 
An ornamental Caladium was called by this common name, meaning ‘‘ horse 
face,’ at Catafio. 
Caladium esculentum. See Colocasia esculenta, 
Calambrena. See Coccolobis nivea.
