collection. They require an airy situation, and the pots to 
be well drained. The plants in summer must not be fully 
exposed to the sun. (Soil No. 6.) 
Ordssula. This genus has now no plant in it attractive 
in beauty. Several beautiful plants in our collections be- 
long to Rochea and Kalosdnthus. There is a strong-grow- 
ing succulent plant, known in our collections as C. 'falcata, 
which is R. falcata. It seldom flowers ; the minor variety 
blooms profusely every year from May to August, and has 
showy scarlet flowers in terminal panicles. The plants known 
as G. coccinea, and C. versicolor, are now given to the genus 
Kalosdnthus. The flowers of the former are scarlet, wax-like, 
terminal, and sessile ; those of the latter are rose and white, 
also wax-like, and are both desirable plants, requiring very 
little water during winter. (Soil No. 18.) 
Cuphsca, a genus of rather unattractive plants were it not 
for the very brilliant C. platycintcra, which is continually in 
bloom with its profusion of tubular, waxy, scarlet-coloured 
flowers edged with white and tipped with black : the plant is 
of dwarf habit, and does well in almost any locality. (Soil 
No. 12.) 
Crataegus. There are none of these belonging to the 
green-house ; but there is a plant in the collections, known 
as C. glabra, which is Photim'a semdata, a native of China,, 
and is a very handsome plant ; has long foliage, deeply ser- 
rated, very shining. P. arbutifblia, a native of California, 
and is the finest of the genus ; flowers in large dense panicles, 
foliage larger than the former, and not so deeply serrated ; 
they arc both comparatively hardy, and we soon expect to see 
them acclimated. (Soil No. 11.) 
Crinum, several species do well in the green-house, espe- 
cially (J. Mexicdnum, C. capense, and ('. hsedtica: they require 
considerable pot-room to make them do well. (Soil No. 12.) 
Orbwea saligna is among one of the finest plants of New 
South Wales. It flowers at the axils of the leaves, colour 
pink, with five petals, connected by entangled hairs; in 
flower from April to December, and frequently through the 
winter; foliage lanceolate, and a fine green. The plant 
grows neat, and requires an airy situation : drain the pots 
well. (Soil No. 1.) 
Cinibnia cajx'iisis, the only species, and a handsome shrub, 
with large pinnated shining leaves, beautifully contrasted by
