Chamaerops humilis, Liime. 



The dwarf Fan-Palm of South Europe and North Africa. It 

 is very decorative for garden plantations, particularly also 

 eligible for scenic effect. 



Chamaerops Hystrix, Fraser. 



The Blue Palmetto of Florida and Carolina. Another dwarf 

 Fan-Palm. 



Chamaerops Khasyana, Griffith. 



In the Himalayas at elevations from 4000 to 8000 feet. 

 Allied to C. Martiana. 



Chamaerops Martiana, Wallich. 



Ascends the mountains of Nepal to 5000 feet. Attains a 

 height of 50 feet and is altogether a noble object. 



Chamaerops Ritchieana, Griffith. 



Arid mountains of Affghanistan; seemingly the only Palm of 

 that country. Has also proved hardy even in England. 



Chelidonium majus, Linne. 



Europe and Western Asia. The Celandine. A perennial 

 herb of medicinal value. Chemical principles: Chelerythrin 

 and Chelidonin; also a yellow pigment: Chelidoxanthin. 



Chenopodium ambrosioides, Linne. 



Tropical America. An annual medicinal herb. Chenopodium 

 anthelminticum is a perennial variety of this species. 



Chenopodium auricomum, Lindley. 



From the Darling River to Carpentaria and Arnhem's Land. 

 A tall perennial herb, furnishing a nutritious and palatable 

 spinage. It will live in arid desert regions. 



Chenopodium Blitum, F. v. Mueller. {Blitum virgatum, 

 Linn6.) 



From South Europe to India. An annual herb, extensively 

 in use there as a cultivated spinage-plant. The fruits furnish 

 a red dye. The genus Blitum was reduced to Chenopodium 

 by the writer in Caruel's Giornale Botauico some years ago. 

 C. capitatum (Blitum capitatum, Linne) may not be really 

 a distinct species. C. Quinoa, Willdenow, from Chili, 

 deserves hardly recommendation for culture, though a 

 nutritious spinage, it being apt to stray as a weed into 

 cultivated fields. Some of these sorts of plants are useful to 

 anglers, as attracting fish, when thrown into rivers or 

 lakes.
