CALÁNTHE, e. Brown. From kalos, beautiful,
and anthos, a floAver ; literally a ''pretty
blossom.'^ LÌ7171. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidàcece.
This is a genus of very pretty plants
when in flower. They require a light airy
part of the house, otherwise the flowers will
not open freely, neither will their colours be so
good. The plants must never be saturated
witli water ; in every other respect they require
the same treatment as is recommended
for Blctià. Sijnonyvies: 1, Amhyglàttis Ucolor ;

much admired on account of the stripes on the

CALCEOLÀRIA, Linn. ISTamed from calceohcs,

Or. 1, Nat. Or. ScrojjJiuïariàceoe. Tliis is a
favourite genus, and contains some very showy
species, from which an almost countless number
of handsome hybrids have been raised and
are raising. The herbaceous and shrubby
kinds are chiefly cultivated. They thrÍA'e in
a turfy loam, peat, and sand mixed, or any
kind of rich, open, sandy garden mould seems
to suit them. The place most ñivourable to
their successful growth is a pit or frame, whei'e
they must be potted and watered with judgment.
Some cultivators turn them out in the
flower-garden, where they make a brilliant
disphiy ; others flower them in pots, with perfect
success, in the greenhouse ; the latter way
is generally preferred for the rare and superior
kinds. Young cuttings planted in soil, under
a glass, root freely ; they ai-e also increased
from seed, which it is recommended to sow as
soon as ripe. The annual species require to be
sown in heat, and when up, potted off, and
afterwards brought on for flowering in the
greenhouse. Synonymes : 1, tinctòria; 2,
