33. Cacalia pintiatifida: leaves pimiatiful; fegmenti lan¬ 
ceolate, ferrate; ftem herbaceous, twilled. Stem two feet 
high, upright, thick ; flowers yellow, in a terminating pa¬ 
nicle, few together. Native of China, near Canton, among 
rice. 
Propagation and Culture. All the forts which are natives 
of the (jape of Good Hope may be propagated by cuttings 
during the At miner months; thefe ihould be cut from the 
plants and laid to diy a fortnight, that the wound may be 
liealed over before they are planted. Mod people plunge 
the pots, in which thefe are planted, into a moderate hot¬ 
bed, to forward their putting out roots; but, if they are 
planted in June or July, they will root as well in the open 
air. Branches broken oft by accident, and fallen on the 
ground, have put out roots without any care ; thefe branch¬ 
es may be kept 11k months out of the ground, and will 
take root if planted. They ftiould have a light Tandy 
earth, and in winter be placed in an airy glafs-cale, where 
they may enjoy the fun and air in mild weather, but muff 
be protected from Croft. During the winter feafon, the 
plants fn 11ft have but little water; and, in Cummer, when 
they are placed in the open air, it Ihould not be given 
them too often, nor in great quantity; but they muff be 
treated like the ficoidcs, and other fucculent plants, from 
the fame country. The fourteenth fort is propagated by 
feeds, which if Town in the autumn, foon after they are 
ripe, into a pot, and plunged in the tan-bed in a (love, 
will more certainly fucceed than thofe fown in the fpring: 
but, where there is not fuch a conveniency, the feeds ihould 
be fown on a hot-bed in the fpring, and, when the plants 
are fit to remove, they ftiould be planted on another hot¬ 
bed to bring them forward, (hading them till they have 
taken new root, after which air ftiould be daily admitted 
to them in proportion to the warmth of the feafon. When 
the plants have acquired ftrength, they fhould be planted 
in pots, and either plunged into a moderate hot-bed under 
a deep frame, or placed in a glafs-cale, where they will 
flower and perfect their feeds. See Eupatorium and 
Tussilaco.

CA'CHEMIRE, or Cashmere, a country of Alia, 
once the feat of a powerful kingdom, which extended 
northward into Tartary, and fouthward to the Indian Sea ; 
but at prefent confined to a valley about feventy miles in 
length, and forty in breadth. The hiftory of the country 
reprefents it to have been originally a vart lake, which 
forced an opening through, the mountains. It is a rich 
champaign country, embeilifhed with a great number of 
Imall hills, and furrounded by mountains. The moun¬ 
tains that are leaft elevated are covered with trees and par- 
lores, which feed a multitude of cattle; here are found 
hares, antelopes, civets, partridges, and vaft (warms' of 
bees, but neither ferpents, bears, tygers, nor lions. Be¬ 
hind thefe are mountains more elevated, always covered 
with fnovv, and whofe tops reach above the clouds ; from 
thefe defeend innumerable fprings and brooks, which fer- 
tilife the country, and uniting together run into the Indus 
in one dream'. The country refembles a garden inter- 
fperfed with a great number of towns and villages, varied 
with beautiful trees, green meadows, fields of rice, hemp, 
faffron, and different legumes, interiedted by canals wind¬ 
ing through them in all forms. The country is one of the 
mod beautiful in the univerfe ; the Moguls call it ‘ the 
terreftrial paradife of the Indies.’ The "air is pure and fe- 
rene, the men lively and well made, and the women hand- 
fome. The inhabitants are more induftrious than thofe of 
other countries of India. They manufacture palankiiw, 
beds, cabinets, eferutoires, but more efpecially thole fluff’s 
called ckales, or (bawls, which ferve the Moguls and In¬ 
dians to cover the head and fhoulders, and have been of 
late years brought into Europe. Some are made of the 
wool of the country, which is much finer than that of 
Spain : but others are manufactured from hair cut from 
the breaft of the goats of Thibet, called touk, which is 
much fofter and more delicate than the hair of the bea¬ 
ver. The latter are very dear. The Cachemirians have 
a language of their own, (aid to be more ancient than the 
Sanfcrit; and a religion different from that of the Hin¬ 
doos. According to the evidence of an eaftern hiftorian, 
“ without paying fefpeCt to traditions, they are the true 
vvorfliippers of God.” 
CA'CHEMIRE, or Cashmere, called alfo Sirinagur, 
a city of Afta, and capital of the country of Cachemire, 
fuppofed to have been the Cafpira of the ancients, is fittu 
ated on the river Behut, about three-quarters of a league 
long, and half a league wide; but without walls. About 
two leagues from it the mountains form a circular bafon, 
and turn their fprings into a lake about four leagues in 
circumference, which empties itfelf into the river by a na¬ 
vigable canal. The boults are of wood, and well built; 
they were formerly of (lone, but the injuries they receive 
from frequent earthquakes induced the inhabitants to 
change their materials. The'city is adorned with a great 
number of fountains, refervoirs, and temples; among the
