LIST OF STOVE-SHRUBS. 83 
a mixture of two parts loam, one part heath mould, and one part very rotten dung. 
They are propagated readily by cuttings planted in sand, under a glass, in heat. 
CLEOME. 
C. DENDROIDES. — This is a Brazilian plant of great beauty, growing in any 
light soil, and readily propagated by seeds and cuttings ; the latter may be planted 
in light soil and plunged in a moist heat. 
CRYPTOPHRAGMIUM. 
C. VENUSTUM is well deserving a place in any collection, requires the common 
treatment of most other stove shrubs, and is propagated by half ripened cuttings 
planted in sand under a glass, and plunged in heat. 
CASSIA. 
C. LIGUSTRINA, GLANDULOSA, and PULCHELLA, are all very beautiful. They 
require a soil composed of equal parts of heath mould and loam ; the foliage of the 
glandulosa is particularly elegant when the plants are large. They are all 
propagated by cuttings and seeds, which must be received from India, as they 
seldom produce any in our stoves. 
COTYLEDON. 
C. DECUSSATA. — This is a succulent of rare beauty; it requires to be potted in 
sandy loam, and placed in a cool part of the stove. The same attention is requisite 
in watering this plant, as other succulents, viz., administering only about twice a 
week in the driest weather, and less in damp weather, and scarcely giving any 
during winter. It is propagated by cuttings, which should be laid on a shelf to dry 
a few days, and afterwards planted in pots of mould, and placed in a dry heat. 
CLITORIA. 
C. ARBORESCENS. — This is a very rare plant in our collections. It is a native 
of Trinidad, and consequently requires a strong heat. The soil should be two parts 
loam, one part peat, and one part very rotten dung. It is propagated by seeds, 
which are produced in pots, and also by cuttings, planted in pots of soil, and plunged 
in a moist heat. 
CLERODENDRON. 
All the Clerodendrons require plenty of pot room, and all the summer season 
often syringing over the leaves, or they become much infested with the red spider. 
They are very handsome, and continue flowering a long time. They propagate 
readily by cuttings of the young wood planted in pots of soil, and plunged in a 
brisk moist heat. 
CERBERA. 
C. FRUTicosA is a fine species of very easy culture, and readily propagated by 
cuttings planted in sand, and plunged in a brisk moist heat. 
CROTON. 
C. PicTUM. — The beautiful blotching of the leaves of this shrub renders it a 
notable ornament to the stove. It strikes readily by ripened cuttings, planted in sand 
in the autumn under a hand-glass ; and in spring, by plunging the pots in a brisk heat.
