Kyllinga (Peder Kylling, Danish botanist, died 1696). Cyperoceae. Annual and perennial herbs, of little value horticulturally although one species is sometimes mentioned in gardening literature. Grass-like or sedge- like plants of perhaps 30 species in many parts of the world, with very small fls. in spikelets which are aggregated into spikes or heads. K. monocephala, Rottb., is nearly glabrous with a creeping rhizome: lvs. drooping or arched, in a graceful tuft: culms. 3-angled: spikes terminal, ovoid or cone-shaped, silky, white, the subtending lvs. 3 and spreading-deflexed. India and other warm regions of the Old World, where it is common. This species is recommended for greenhouse work, Where, in 4-in. pots, it makes decorative specimens 1 ft. high, requiring a warm greenhouse temperature. G. 2:298; 25:173. Apparently not offered in this country. L. H. B.

Kunzea (Gustav Kunze, 1793-1851, German botanist). Myrtaceae. Australian shrubs, sometimes grown in cool or temperate houses: often heath-like, the small entire lvs. mostly alternate: fls. small with extending stamens, in the upper axils or in terminal heads or in a spike below the end of the branch; calyx with 5 small lobes; petals 5, spreading, small; stamens many, free or in series, the filaments filiform; ovary 2-5-cclled, 2 to many ovules in each cell. The species are 15-20, allied to Callistemon, Leptospermum, and formerly included in Metrosideros. The cult, requirements of Callistemon (p. 630) will probably suit them. K. pomifera, F. Muell., has been mentioned as a fruit-plant (G.C. III. 5:201; copied in A.G. 1889: 127), Mueller saying that it is one of the few really valuable fruit-plants indigenous at the south coast of Austral. "The fruits are of a peculiar acidulous aromatic taste, and very extensively collected by people settled on the coast for the purpose of jam-making." It is described by Bentham as a rigid prostrate shrub: lvs. ovate, varying from nearly orbicular and almost cordate to narrow and acute-based, mostly less than
1/3 in. long: fls. white or yellowish, sessile and not numerous but yet forming dense terminal heads becoming lateral by elongation of the branch; stamens numerous, 3 or 4 times as long as the small petals: berry blue, 1/3 in. or less diam., crowned by the calyx-lobes. Victoria and S. Austral. L.H.B.

Kumquat or Kinkan

{{Inc|
Kumquat or Kinkan. Fig. 2046. A group of dwarf evergreen citrous fruits of the genus Fortunella but formerly referred to Citrus, introduced into England by Robert Fortune, collector for the Royal Horticultural Society, London, from the provinces of Foo-chow- foo, Chusan and Ningpo, China, May 6, 1846. In both China and Japan the kumquat is grown extensively. A. J. Downing reports the variety Nagami (Fortunella margarita) as being in America in 1850, having been brought from England, and importations from Japan by Florida nurserymen between 1885 and 1890 included the Marumi (F. japonica) variety. Shortly after their introduction into America, both varieties were distributed throughout the Gulf coast and California citrous regions and soon attracted attention for their ornamental value. Later the variety Neiwa (F. crassifolia) was introduced but is not yet commonly known. While the kumquat was first regarded as an ornamental in America, it was soon realized that its fruit is valuable for many culinary purposes. In consequence it has been largely planted in many sections, particularly along the Gulf of Mexico.

The kumquats are distinctly shrubby in growth, reaching a height of 10 to 15 feet and an equal distance across the branches. The twigs, branches and leaves make a very dense symmetrical head. The leaves are narrow, elongated, pointed or rounded at the apex, dark green. Thorns are absent or very small. The flowers are small, white and sweet- scented. The first blooms produced in early spring are usually without pistils and of course no fruit results. Later the flowers from which the fruit is produced are borne singly or in clusters of three or four on shoots that arise from the first growth in spring. There may be one or two successive crops of bloom and settings of fruit. The ripening of the fruit is therefore usually prolonged over a period of several weeks or even months. The fruit is small, either oval or round, orange in color, and borne freely.

The kumquats are among the most hardy of the citrous fruits. In dormant condition they have withstood temperatures as low as 15° F. in the latitude of north Florida without injury, and they have been fruited in the open ground as far north as Augusta, Georgia.

While the kumquat may be budded on any of the stocks commonly used for other citrous fruits, most of them are grown on Poncirus (or Citrus) trifoliata. rough lemon, and sweet orange stocks. When soil and moisture conditions are suitable, Poncirus trifoliata is given the preference. It is a very hardy stock and well adapted to the kumquat. For pot culture, when both soil and moisture are under control, it is the best stock to use. The ordinary shield method of budding is used, and the young plants, being; of shrubby growth do not require any special training such as must be given other citrous trees.

In orchard planting, the kumquats are usually placed 10 by 10 feet up to 15 by 15 feet apart. Sometimes they are grown in hedges, the plants being set 6 feet apart in the rows and the rows 15 feet apart. The same tillage and fertilizing are required as for other citrous fruits. Plant-food must be available in liberal amounts to keep the fruits up to size, and fertilizers should be applied in goodly amounts in late winter to produce a strong growth in the first spring shoots.

In the matter of pruning, kumquats are very much benefited by rather severe cutting back of the twigs of the previous season's growth in the winter months. Since the fruit is usually gathered with twigs attached, the necessary pruning is given when the crop is harvested, but if the crop is light, additional pruning will be necessary and should be directed toward thinning out the shoots as well as cutting them back. Liberal pruning well in advance of the starting of growth increases both the size and quantity of fruit.

Varieties.

Up to this time three varieties have been introduced into America, as already noted. A fourth variety, Omi, is listed in Japanese catalogues, and there are doubtless still other forms in China and Japan.

Nagami.—Oblong fruit 1 ¼ to 1 ¾ inches long, deep orange in color- juice acid; rind sweet, spicy; seeds two to five; season October and through the winter. Usually begins to ripen two or three weeks later than Marumi.

Neiwa.—Fruit 1 ¼ to 1 ¾ inches in diameter, round, orange-yellow; juice subacid; rind sweet; season earlier than Nagami; prolific. A recent introduction.

Marumi.—Round; fruit 1 to 1 ¼ inches in diameter, round, irregular in size; deep orange in color; juice acid; rind sweet and spicy; seeds one to three; season October and through the winter. The earliest variety to ripen.

Nagami is usually considered the most desirable variety, as it is more robust in growth and produces fruit of uniform size. Marumi is very prone to produce fruit that is small and very irregular in size. Nagami is thornless, while Marumi has very short, sharp, slender thorns. As a pot-plant, Marumi is valuable because of its very compact symmetrical growth.

Uses.

Well-grown kumquat plants make handsome ornamentals,—the combination of dark green foliage and small golden fruit being very pleasing. They may be used for hedges, planted singly or in groups.

Large quantities of fruit are shipped for the holiday trade. In gathering the fruit, it is clipped from the plants with leaves and twigs attached and packed in strawberry baskets. There is also a good demand for large sprays of fruit and If ayes for decorative purposes.

When eaten raw, well-ripened kumquats have a very agreeable combination of flavors. The outer rind is spicy, the white inner rind is sweet and granular, while the juice is acid.

The fruit is coming into very general use for the making of marmalade, jelly, preserved and crystallized fruit. Marmalade made from kumquats is esteened by many above the product made from other citrous fruits.

H. Harold Hume.

Kohlrabi

{{Inc|
Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. caulo-rapa). Fig. 2045. As the Latin name indicates, this plant is a member of the cabbage group. This group is interesting from a horticultural standpoint because of the great variety in the parts developed to a condition suitable for human food. The kohlrabi is one of the most peculiar of the lot. It is like a turnip produced on a cabbage root, if that were possible. The flesh of the thickened stem resembles that of a turnip, but when well grown it is more delicate, both in texture and flavor. This interesting plant is deserving of a place in every home-garden as well as in the market-garden. In quality it is superior to all other members of the cabbage group save cauliflower. Kohlrabi is naturally a cool-weather plant. To have it at its best it should be grown during the cool days of either spring or autumn and gathered while still young and tender. The soil for kohlrabi should be a rich loam, well drained so as to be available for early planting. Plants may be started in a hotbed and transplanted to the open the same as early cabbage, or the seed may be sown in the open as soon as the season is far enough advanced to sow radish or cabbage seed safely. The rows should be from 15 to 30 inches apart and the young plants planted or thinned to stand 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. The cultivation that would be given early beets will suffice for the plant. The early, quick-maturing sorts should be chosen for table use. The plants should be harvested as soon as the edible portion can be induced to develop to the size of a baseball. If conditions are such as to retard or delay growth, the product is apt to be tough and strong. Quick growth means quality in this plant.

To prepare kohlrabi for market, cut the stem just above the surface of the ground and tie three to five plants together by their leaves to form a bunch. To prepare it for the table it should be peeled and cut into dice about ½ inch square and cooked the same as cauliflower. Vilmorin says that some of the large, coarse varieties are grown in Europe for stock feed. It is doubtful whether it will ever find favor in this country for this purpose for the reason that in most localities turnips, cabbage, or marrow kale will outyield it.

L. C. Corbett.

'''Kohlrabi''' (''[[Brassica oleracea]]'' Gongylodes Group) is a low, stout [[cultivar]] of the [[cabbage]] that will grow almost anywhere. It has been selected for its swollen, nearly spherical, [[Sputnik program|Sputnik]]-like shape. The name comes from the [[German language|German]] ''Kohl'' ("cabbage") plus ''Rabi'' ("[[Turnip (Brassica rapa)|turnip]]"), because the swollen stem resembles the latter. Kohlrabi has been created by [[artificial selection]] for lateral [[meristem]] growth; its origin in nature is the same as that of [[cabbage]], [[broccoli]], [[cauliflower]], and [[brussels sprouts]]: They are all bred from, and the same species as, the [[wild cabbage]] plant (''Brassica oleracea'').

The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a [[broccoli]] stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter, with a higher ratio of flesh to skin. The young stem in particular can be as crisp and juicy as an apple, although much less sweet. Except for the Gigante cultivar, spring-grown kohlrabi much over 5 cm in size tend to be woody, as do fall-grown kohlrabi much over perhaps 10 cm in size; the Gigante cultivar can achieve great size while remaining of good eating quality.

Kohlrabi can be eaten [[Raw food|raw]] as well as cooked.

There are several varieties commonly available, including White Vienna, Purple Vienna, Grand Duke, Gigante (also known as "Superschmeltz"), Purple Danube, and White Danube. Coloration of the purple types is superficial: the edible parts are all pale yellow.

[[Hamburg Township, Michigan]], [[USA]], has titled itself the "Kohlrabi Capital of the World" and at one time had a kohlrabi festival which drew 600 people at its peak in 1985. [http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:fk6S65rKxj8J:www.freep.com/fun/food/qkohl29.htm+hamburg+michigan+kohlrabi+festival&hl=en&ie=UTF-8]

Some varieties are grown as feed for [[cattle]].

'''''Koelreuteria paniculata''''' ('''Goldenrain tree''', '''Pride of India''', or '''China tree''') is a species of ''[[Koelreuteria]]'' native to eastern [[Asia]], in [[China]] and [[Korea]].

[[Image:Leafage of Koelreuteria paniculata.JPG|left|thumb|Leaf of var. ''paniculata'']]
It is a small to medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to 17 m tall, with a broad, dome-shaped crown.

The [[leaf|leaves]] are pinnate, 15-40 cm (rarely to 50 cm) long, with 7-15 leaflets 3-8 cm long, with a deeply serrated margin; the larger leaflets at the mid-point of the leaf are sometimes themselves pinnate but the leaves are not consistently fully bipinnate as in the related ''[[Koelreuteria bipinnata]]''.

The [[flower]]s are yellow, with four petals, growing in large terminal [[panicle]]s 20-40 cm long. The [[fruit]] is a three-parted inflated bladderlike pod 3-6 cm long and 2-4 cm broad, green ripening orange to pink in autumn, containing several dark brown to black [[seed]]s 5-8 mm diameter. 

There are two [[variety (biology)|varieties]]:
*''Koelreuteria paniculata'' var. ''paniculata''. Northern China and Korea. Leaves single-pinnate.
*''Koelreuteria paniculata'' var. ''apiculata'' (Rehder & E.H.Wilson) Rehder (syn. ''K. apiculata''). Western China ([[Sichuan]]), intergrading with var. ''paniculata'' in central China. Leaves with larger leaflets commonly bipinnate.

[[Image:Fruits of Koelreuteria paniculata.jpg|thumb|left|''K. paniculata'' fruits]]
==Cultivation==
It is popularly grown as an [[ornamental plant|ornamental tree]] in [[temperate]] regions all across the world because of the aesthetic appeal of its flowers, leaves and seed pods. Several [[cultivar]]s have been selected for garden planting, including 'Fastigiata' with a narrow crown, and 'September Gold', flowering in late summer.

The seeds are edible when roasted, but not commonly consumed.

In some areas, notably the eastern [[United States]] and particularly in [[Florida]], it is considered an [[invasive species]].

Koelreuteria (Joseph G. Koelreuter, 1733-1806, professor of natural history at Karlsruhe). Sapindaceae. Ornamental trees, grown for their large panicles of yellow flowers and the handsome compound foliage.

Deciduous: winter-buds small, with 2 outer scales: lvs. alternate, petioled, estipulate, pinnate or bipinnate, with serrate lfts.: fls. in large terminal panicles, yellow, symmetrical; calyx deeply divided into 5 unequal lobes; petals 4, turned upward, lanceolate, clawed, the blade cordate at the base with 2 upturned appendages; disk crenate at the upper margins; stamens 8, sometimes less, with long filaments; ovary superior, 3-celled, style 3-fid at the apex, shorter than stamens: fr. a bladdery, loculicid caps., with papery walls; seeds usually 1 in each cell, roundish, black.— Five species in China and Japan.

The koelreuterias are medium-sized rather sparingly branched round-headed trees with light green pinnately divided leaves and small yellow flowers in large terminal panicles appearing in summer and followed by conspicuous bladder-like pods. K. paniculata is hardy as far north as Massachusetts, though occasionally killed back in severe winters; as a rule it is a short-fived tree. The other species are more tender. They are not particular as to the soil and prefer sunny positions. Propagation is by seeds, which are usually freely produced and sown in autumn or stratified, also by root-cuttings.

K. apiculata, Rehd. & Wilson. Closely allied to K. paniculata. Tree, to 35 ft.: lvs. bipinnate, the pinnae pinnatifid or pinnate at the base, incisely lobed and serrate toward the apex: fr. ovate- oblong, rounded at the apex and apiculate. Cent. China.—K. bipinnata, Franch. Tree, to 60 ft.: lvs. bipinnate with ovate to oblong nearly equally serrate lfts. 1 ½ -4 in. long: fr. globose- ovoid, rounded at the apex. W. China. R.H. 1888, p. 393. Gn. 34, p. 305.—K. henryi, Dommer, from Formosa and K. minor, Hemsl., from S. E. China, are not in cult. Alfred Rehder.

'''''Koelreuteria''''' is a genus of three species in the family [[Sapindaceae]], native to southern and eastern [[Asia]].

They are medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]]s growing to 10-20 m tall, with spirally arranged pinnate or bipinnate [[leaf|leaves]]. The [[flower]]s are small and yellow, produced in large branched [[panicle]]s 20-50 cm long. The [[fruit]] is a three-lobed inflated papery [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] 3-6 cm long, containing several hard [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-like [[seed]]s 5-10 mm diameter.

==Uses==
Koelreuteria trees are commonly used as focal points in landscape design in regions where they thrive.

In some areas, notably parts of eastern [[North America]], they have become [[invasive species]].

Kochia (after W. D. J. Koch, 1771-1849, professor of botany at Erlangen; wrote a flora of Germany and Switzerland). Chenopodiaceae. Summer Cypress. Mock Cypress. This includes two hardy annuals, called the "mock cypress" or "summer cypress," grown for the compact habit and the herbage which is green in summer and turns red in autumn.

Kochia is a polymorphous genus of herbs which are often woody at the base: lvs. often minute and narrow, alternate, more or less silky, rarely glabrous: fls. small or minute, sessile, solitary or clustered in the axils of the lvs.; calyx enlarging into a flask-shaped body, which incloses the fr.; perianth orbicular; lobes 5, incurved and bearing horizontal wings on the back or on the tube which are membranous or scarious, distinct or confluent; stamens 5; filaments short or long and compressed; stigmas 2, rarely 3.—Species 30-40, of which one is native in the W. U. S. and the others in the Old World and Austral.

The seed may be sown indoors in April, and the plants set out in May, or the seeds may be sown in the open ground about May 1. The plants should stand about 2 to 3 feet apart.

Kniphofia (Johann Hieronymus Kniphof, 1704- 1765, professor at Erfurt). Syn, Tritoma. Liliaceae. Torch-lily. Red-hot-poker Plant. Flame-flower. Excellent showy perennial herbs grown in the open (some species under glass), with spikes or racemes of long, drooping red and yellow (rarely white) flowers.

Herbs with abundant radical lvs. and stout, simple naked scapes or peduncles, the thick roots from a short vertical rootstock, mostly stemless but a few species with a short caudex below the crown of lvs.: fls. many, in a spike-like raceme or dense head-like spike, on short articulated pedicels; perianth funnel- shaped or cylindrical, the tube long and the nearly or quite equal segms. small and mostly broad; stamens 6, in two lengths, equaling or exceeding the perianth; ovary 3-celled, bearing a filiform style and capitate stigma: fr. a short 3-valved caps.-Species probably 70, in Trop. and S. Afr. in the tropical regions mostly from high elevations. The genus is rich in good native forms, many of which are scarcely known in general cult., and it is to be expected that important horticultural developments will arise in the future. Accounts of the species described to those dates will be found in Flora Capensis (1896-7) and Flora Tropical Africa (1898) in the treatments by Baker, from which the present descriptions have been largely drawn. These descriptions are made mostly from wild plants and therefore may not apply to garden forms, which are very likely to be hybrids.

The kniphofias are among the most showy of border plants. They are essentially autumn bloomers, but some of the newer kinds are nearly continuous bloomers from midsummer. The common kinds are hardy south of Philadelphia when well covered in winter, but in the North it is usually safer to dig up the plants in November, place them in boxes with dry earth, and store them in a cellar in winter. In spring place them in a warm, sheltered, well-drained spot, perhaps with a background of shrubbery to set off the flowers. Some of the recent species from tropical Africa are treated as greenhouse or warmhouse subjects. In general cultivation the prevailing species is K. uvaria. This is nearly hardy North, has sword-shaped leaves 2 to 3 feet long, and several scapes 4 or 5 feet high surmounted by a spike 4 to 8 inches long composed of perhaps 100 tubular, drooping flowers, each 1 inch or more long, and fiery red. It has perhaps a dozen varieties with Latin names and twice as many with personal names. Most other species have much the same general effect, and recent variations and apparent hybrids have greatly extended the blooming season and the range of color and form. For producing mass- effects, the torch-lilies are among the most striking subjects, the brilliant flowers producing a flame of color. Clumps in open sunny places are particularly emphatic.

The miniature-flowered torch-lilies are excellent for planting in small beds and near the front borders and also for cutting. They begin to bloom as early as June. The plants are mostly small, the racemes not so massive, and the flowers small and short. It is probable that such species as K. nelsonii, K. pauciflora, K. rufa, K. breviflora have entered into them.

Under cultivation, the kniphofias appear to hybridize very freely through the agency of bees, and seedlings therefore may not be true to the parent from which they came. The result is that there is much confusion in the literature of the genus, and it is often very difficult to trace the original species-forms.

They grow readily from seeds, and novel forms are likely to be secured from the mixed garden parentage. The plants should bloom freely the second year, and often the first year. The usual method of propagation is by division; the caulescent kinds, however, may not produce offsets or divisible parts readily unless they are headed back or cut off to make them spread. Kniphofias are of ten classed by dealers as bulbous plants, though they have only a short rhizome and numerous, clustered, thickish root-fibers. Old but vigorous plants of the K. uvaria kind divide easily, and give large strong pieces.

'''''Kniphofia''''' (Tritoma, Red hot poker, Torch lily, Poker plant) is a genus of plants in the family [[Asphodelaceae]] that includes 70 or more species native to [[Africa]]. Some species have been commercially used for horticultural use and are commonly known for their bright, rocket-shaped [[flower]]s.

These plants produce spikes of brightly-colored, hanging, red-to-orange flowers. This gives names such as "torch" and "red hot poker" to many of them.

Describe the plant here...
{{Inc|
Kniphofia comosa, Hochst. Roqtstock thick and short, with copious roots: lvs. many, linear, bright green, to 2 ft. and more long, sharply keeled, edges smooth: raceme very dense, oblong, 3-4 in. long, on a peduncle equaling the lvs.; fls. bright yellow, deflexed, ½ in. long and funnel-shaped but dilated suddenly at the middle; segms. very obtuse; filaments red; anthers yellow, long- exserted. Nile Land. B.M. 6569.—This is perhaps more conspicuous by reason of its mass of stamens than the outline of the spike. It is doubtful whether the true K. comosa is the same as the cult, plant of that name. Perhaps K. comosa and K. leichtlinii of gardens are forms of one species. In the true or botanical K. comosa and K. leichtlinii, the spikes are sometimes 2 or 3 on the peduncle; when there is only 1 spike, the uppermost fls. open first, thus reversing the usual order in the kniphofias; when there are lateral spikes, they open from below upward. G.C. III. 56:410.
