C ACALIA, Linn. Named from A:afco«, pernicious, 
and lian, exceedingly. Linn. 19, Or. 1, Nat. 
Or, Composites. A genus remarkable for the fleshy 
awkward -looking stems, and discoloured leaves of 
many of the species. They grow in a mixture of 
sandy loam, brick-rubbish, and decomposed dung 
well reduced ; they require little water, especially 
when growing, and the pots must be well drained. 
Cuttings taken oflF, and dried for a few days to heal 
the wound, strike readily ; when sufficiently 
struck, they should be potted off, using the same 
kind of soil recommended for old plants, and care- 
fully watered. Synonymes : 1. Kleinia tomentosa.
