Myrtacex. These are handsome evergreens, of 
easy culture ; sandy peat and loam mixed suits 
them ; tind cuttings take readily in sand, under a 
glass.

Ca-mblina, Crantz. From chamai, on the ground, 
and linon, flax ; in allusion to its dwarf habit. 
Linn. 15, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Cruciferce. The species 
have but little beauty, and require to be sown in 
the open border. C. sativa is cultivated in some 
parts of Europe for the sake of the oil which is ob- 
tained from the seeds. Synonymes ; 1. Myagrum 
sativum, 2. Cheiranthus sylvestris.

Camassia, Lindley. From quamass, or camass, its 
native name in N. America. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. 
Or. Asphodeleas. The flowers of this beautiful 
plant are nearly two inches in diameter. Dr. 
Lindley scarcely remembers to have ever seen a 
more strikingly handsome bulbous plant. It requires 
a peat border, under a north wall ; increased by 
seeds.

Camellia, Ker. Named in honour of George Joseph 
Kamel, or Camellus, a Moravian Jesuit, and tra- 
veller in Asia. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Ternstrae- 
miacece, “All the species of Camellia are universally 
admired by every collector of plants, on account of 
their beautiful rose-like flowers, and elegant dark- 
green shining laurel-like leaves. They are very 
hardy greenhouse plants and are easy of culture, re- 
quiring only to be sheltered from severe frost. The 
best soil for them is an equal quantity of good sandy 
loam and peat. Messrs. Loddiges find that light 
loam alone answers as well, or better ; and in the 
Comte de Vande’s gardens at Bayswater, rotten 
dung is mixed with loam and peat. The pots 
should be well drained with pieces of potsherds, 
that they may not get soddened with too much 
wet, as nothing injures them more than over- 
watering, particularly when they are not in a 
growing state. When growing freely, they can 
scarcely have too much, and they should be w atered 
over the leaves w'ith a fine rose-pot; they are 
readily increased by cuttings, or inarching on the 
common kinds. The cuttings should be taken off 
at a joint as soon as they are ripened, and planted 
in sand, under a glass, where they will soon strike 
root ; when this is the case they should be planted 
singly in small pots, and set in a close frame, and 
they must be afterwards hardened to the air by 
degrees.” — Sweet. The season most proper to give 
the Camellias a general potting is February and 
March. After this, put them into a peach-house 
or vinery, or a warm greenhouse, and give the 
plants plenty of water while they are making 
their young shoots; when the season’s growth is 
completed, and the flower-buds formed, the back 
of the greenhouse or even a well-sheltered north 
border will suit them, for they will be seriously 
injured if exposed to the rays of the sun. A regu- 
lar succession of flowers may be obtained from 
autumn till July, if attention is paid to shifting the 
plants- to the warm atmosphere of a vinery, nr 
pinery, &c., and to one a few degrees colder, and 
so on. till they come to expand their flowers in the 
greenhouse, which in rough, bleak, cold weather, 
should be kept closed. The seeds of C. oleifera 
yield an excellent table oil.

Cameraria, Linn. In memory of .Joachim Carae- 
rarius, a physician and botanist of Nuremberg. 
Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Apocynacece- The species 
of this genus are handsome flowering plants, of 
easy culture ; they succeed best in loam and peat 
mixed ; and cuttings root in sand, under a glass, 
in heat. Synonyme : \. Wrightia dubia,

Campanula, Linn. The name is a diminutive of 
campana, a bell ; on account of the resemblance 
thereto of the corolla. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 
Campanulaceae. This is a showy and well-known 
genus ; some of the species are tall-growing hand- 
some plants, while others scarcely rise more than 
a few inches from the ground. They are all of 
easy culture in the border of the flower-garden or 
shrubbery, where the hardy kinds merely require 
sowing ; the less hardy kinds should be sown on a 
hotbed, or in the greenhouse, and when up potted 
off. The roots or C. Rapunculus are occasionally 
eaten. Synonymes: 1. Rupestris. 2. Roella decum-
