COR COR 
COR COS 
on which two or three flowers are developed ; each 
flower is placed at the end of a long, stiflF, cylindri- 
caJ-furrowed ovary, and when expanded, measures 
something more than six inches from the tip of one 
sepal to that of the opposite one. The sepals and 
petals are nearly of the same colour, being of an 
ochrey yellow, spotted irregularly with dull purple. 
The hp is as fleshy and solid in its texture as the 
sepals and petals are delicate ; it is seated on a deep 
purple stalk, nearly an inch long, this stalk termi- 
nates in a hemispherical greenish-purple cup or 
cap ; and the latter contracting at its front edge, 
extends forward into a sort of second stalk of a very 
vivid blood-colour, the sides of which are thinner 
than the centre, turned back, and marked with 
four or five very deep, solid, sharp-edged plaits. 
These edges again expand and form a second cup, 
less lobed than the first, thinning away very much 
to the edges, of a broadly conical figure, with a 
diameter of at least two inches at the orifice ; 
this second cup is of an ochrey yellow, streaked 
and spotted with pale crimson, and seems intended 
to catch a watery secretion, which drips into it 
from two succulent horns, taking their origin in 
the base of the column, and hanging over the cen- 
tre of the cup.” — Bot. Reff.vol. xxii. t. 1841. The 
genus requires the same treatment as is recom- 
mended for Stanhopea. Synonymet : 1. Gongora

well in an equal mixture of sandy loam and peat, 
planted out in a pit or frame. They will also grow, 
when planted about six inches deep, in a warm 
border, and protected by some slight covering, in 
frosty weather, but to be exposed when the weather 
is fine and naild ; increased by divisions,

CoRYDALis, Decandolle. One of the Greek names of 
Fumitory ; from korydalos, a lark ; because the

Linn. 17, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Papaveracece. This is a 
beautiful genus, the species of which grow from 
one to six feet high the delicate kinds thrive best 
in a mixture of peat and loam, and are very orna- 
mental in flower-borders; the annual kinds only 
require sowing in the open border; seeds. Syno-

CoRYLUs, Linn. From korys, a helmet; referring to 
the calyx enwrapping the fruit. Linn. 21, Or. 9, 
Nat. Or. Cupuliferas. The species of this genus are 
[ 89 J 
generally cultivated for the sake of their fruit; 
they will thrive well in any common garden soil, 
and may be raised from seed ; but to have any 
variety true to its kind, they must be raised from 
suckers or layers.
