ATA (OEGLE SEPIARIA).--Japan. This fiercely-spined Citrus is hardy, but rarely flowers and fruits in the north. In the south-west it flowers freely, and one specimen fruits almost annually. It is 7 feet in height, and last year carried over thirty fruits. CLERODENDRON TRICHOTOMUM.--Japan. A deciduous shrub, also hardy, but flowering best in the south-west. A fine specimen over 15 feet in height and as much through is at Greenway on the Dart. CLETHRA ARBOREA.--Madeira. The Lily-of-the-Valley tree. Evergreen. It bears panicles of white, bell-shaped flowers in the summer, at which time it is quite a feature at Tresco. There are good bushes, the largest about 7 feet in height, at Trewidden, near Penzance. COROKIA BUDDLEIOIDES.--New Zealand. A tall-growing evergreen shrub, with leaves 2 to 6 inches in length. _C. Cotoneaster_ is a spreading shrub with small leaves. Both species bear yellow, sweet-scented flowers. The first was at Ludgvan Rectory, Cornwall, the second at Bishop's Teignton. South Devon. CORREA.--Australia. Greenhouse evergreen shrubs which do well at Tresco, and also in some gardens on the mainland. _C. cardinalis_ is the most brilliant, but _C. ventricosa_ is almost as highly coloured. The two named, as well as _C. alba_, _C. bicolor_, _C. carnea_, _C. glauca_, _C. magnifica_, and _C. virens_ are sometimes seen in good health and flower on the mainland. CORYNOCARPUS LAEVIGATUS.--New Zealand. An evergreen tree, bearing panicles of white flowers followed by plum-like fruit. A healthy young plant is at Ludgvan Rectory. CRINODENDRON HOOKERI (TRICUSPIDARIA HEXAPETALA).--Chili. A particularly handsome shrub, growing to a height of 5 feet, bearing large, drooping, cherry-red, urn-shaped flowers on long peduncles, the petals being very fine in texture. In many gardens. CYTISUS RACEMOSUS.--Peak of Teneriffe. One of the commonest and most popular greenhouse plants. It grows to 8 or 10 feet in height in the south-west and often flowers until Christmas. DAPHNE INDICA.--India. Both the white and purple-red form of this fragrant plant are common in the open in Devon and Cornwall, and in mild seasons commence to bloom in January. Some old plants have formed large bushes in front of walls. DAPHNIPHYLLUM GLAUCESCENS.--China. Evergreen. This is hardy, but is uncommon. A very large specimen is at Trewidden, and is 12 feet in height and 20 feet in spread. It has long shining leaves, the shoots being red in co
