MASSANGEA. WM. Lindeni and M. musaica are 
now classed as species of Caraguata by Baker, and 
by other botanists as Guzmannia ; but M. hieroglyphica 
is referred to Tillandsia (which see). ‘ 
MASSONIA. According to J. G. Baker, this genus 
now embraces about thirty-three species. To those 
described on pp. 335-6, Vol. II., the following should 
be added: 
M. amygdalina (Almond-like).* /. strongly Almond-scented, 
forming a dense, globose, sessile head; perianth white, jin. 
long, with reflexed, lanceolate segments. 7. two, ovate, acute, 
glabrous, decumbent, 2in. long. 1889. 
M. angustifolia. The correct name is Polyxena angustifolia. 
M. brachypus (short-stalked). /. in a shortly-peduncled head; 
perianth white, 4in. long, with lanceolate sesments. /. oblong, 
obtuse, thin, glabrous, 6in. long. Bulb lin. in diameter. 1874. 
M. ensifolia. The correct name is Polyxena pygmoa. 
M. jasminiflora (Jasmine-flowered). jl. scented like a ripe 
Pear; perianth white, green-tipped, 4in. long, with a slencer 
tube and reflexed segments; head sessile. 7. two, ovate, not 
spotted, 2in. to Jin. long. Bulb white, small. 1894. (B. M. 
7465.) 
M. odorata (scented). A synonym of Polyxena odorata. 
MASSOVIA. 
(which see). 
MAST. In addition to Beech Mast, this name is also 
applied to Acorns, Chestnuts, &c. 
MASTICH-TREE. See Fistacia Lentiscus. 
MATE. See Ilex conocarpa. 
MATHEA. A synonym of Schwenkia (which see). 
MATHIOLA. Bentham and Hooker spell this name 
Matthiola. The Virginian Stock does not belong to this 
genus, but to Malcolmia (which see). To the species 
described on p. 336, Vol. IL., the following should be 
added. See also Stocks. 
M. annua is now regarded as a variety of M. incana. 
M. greeca (Grecian). A form of M. incana. 
M. incana greca (Grecian). An entirely glabrous plant, with 
leaves of a beautiful green. Orient. 
M. sinuata (sinuate). jl. nearly resembling those of M. incanu, 
scented at night. July. /r., pods compressed, velvety and 
glandular, muricate. 7. oblong, tomentose ; lower ones sinuated 
Stems nearly erect, branched. Europe (Britain), near the sea. 
Biennial. 
Varieties. Florists usually separate these into three 
groups—Ten-Week, Intermediate, and Biennial. The first 
are the summer-flowering Stocks so largely used for 
bedding; the second are intermediate between the first 
and the last, and are better adapted for pot culture 
than ontside; while the third embrace the well-known 
Bromptons, which flower in spring from seed sown the 
previous spring. By employing the various kinds 
judiciously, Stocks may be enjoyed practically the year 
through where glass is available. Some good varieties 
are: Ten-Week—Autumn Giant, 24ft.; Giant Primrose, 
14ft.; Kelway’s German Dwarf Improved, Ift.; Mauve 
Beanty, 9in.; Princess May ; Snowflake, 2ft. ; and Triumph, 
9in. Intermediate—Covent Garden, lft.; Emperor, Itt. ; 
Snowdrift, 1ft.; Todd’s Crimson ; and Winter Avalanche, 
13ft. Biennial—Cottager’s, 2ft.; Giant White; New Giant, 
2ft.; and Sunrise, 1ft. 
MATONIA. Very little is known as to either the 
culture or the propagation of this, one of the rarest and 
handsomest of known Ferns, which, though at various 
times imported alive in this country, never seems to 
haye made headway or even to haye become established 
in any collection. Considering that it comes from Mount 
Ophir, Malacca, it should be as easily grown as some 
Cypripediams found wild in the same locality, which 
succeed admirably under artificial cultivation. Un- 
fortunately, such is not the case; and although subjected
