■ Garden Hybrids. — Of these there are now a 

 considerable number ; their names and colours 

 are given in the nurserymen's catalogues. 

 MlMiJSOPS, Linn. From mimo, an ape, and 

 ops, the face ; the flowers may be fancied to 

 resemble the face of a monkey. Linn. 8, Or. 

 1, Nat. Or. Sapotaceos: Ornamental trees, 

 which grow in a light loamy soil, or in a mix- 

 ture of loam and peat ; and cuttings of the 

 ripened wood root with ease in sand, under a 

 glass . Synonymes : 1, Aehras dissicta ; 2, M.

Mina, Llave and Lexarza. Named after Don 

 Francisco Xavier Mina, a Mexican minister. 

 Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Convolvulacece. A 

 very curious and beautiful plant, used for de- 

 coration by the Mexicans. When not in 

 flower it appears like an Ipomcea in foliage, 

 and when in flower, if the leaves were removed, 

 it loses all appearance of the order to which it 

 belongs. Its flowers being racemose, and ar- 

 ranged similar to a Borage, the blossoms are at 

 first rich crimson, changing as they open to 

 orange and pale yellow. It requires the same 

 treatment as Ipomcba.

Minuartia, Lcefling. After John Minuart, a 

 Spanish apothecary and restorer of botany in 

 Spain. Linn. 3, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Oaryophyl- 

 lacece. The seeds of these plants have only to 

 be sown in the open ground,

Mirabilis, Linn. From mirabilis, wonderful ; 

 alluding to the flowers. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Nyetaginacece. Few plants make a more 

 handsome app"earance when in flower, cither in 

 the greenhouse or open border. They grow 

 well in any light rich soil, and are increased 

 by seeds. They may be planted out in the 

 open border in spring, where they will do as 

 well as in the greenhouse ; at the approach of 

 winter the roots must be taken up, and kept 

 dry and free from frost.

Mirbelia, Smith. In honour of Mons. C. F. 

 Brisseau Mirbel, one of the most distinguished 

 vegetable physiologists of his age, and director 

 of the Jardin du Koi at Paris. Linn. 10, Or. 

 1, Nat. Or. Fabacece. These are beautiful 

 plants when in flower, and therefore worth a 

 place in every greenhouse. Their culture and 

 propagation is the same as Pultendia, except 

 that the cuttings must be young. Synonymes :

Mitchella, Limn. In honour of John Mitchell, 

 M.D., a physician in Virginia, who described 

 many Virginian plants. Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Cinchon&cece. This plant grows well in a 

 peat border, or in a pot filled with peat and 

 sand mixed, and placed among alpine plants ; 

 it is easily increased by separating the running 

 stems,

Mitella, Linn. A diminutive of mitra, a 

 mitre ; the fruit being somewhat mitre-shaped. 

 Linn. 10, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Saxifraghcew. The 

 plants of this genus are pretty, and well 

 adapted for the front of flower-borders, or to 

 grow on rock-work. They grow most luxuri- 

 antly in peat, and are easily increased by di- 

 viding the roots. Synonyme : 1, M. reni-
