Malva, Linn. Altered from the Greek, malache, 
soft, which comes from malacho, to soften; in allu- 
sion to the emollient qualities of the species. Linn. 
16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Malvaceae. This is an extensive 
genus of plants. The stove and greenhouse kinds 
grow well in any rich soil, and are verj" ornamental, 
especially some of the greenhouse species ; they are 
readily increased by cuttings planted in any light 
soil, under a glass. Among the most interesting of 
the hardy herbaceous species, are M. moschata, 
Munroana, and purpurata. They should be planted 
in the flower-border, and increased by divisions of 
the roots, or by seeds. The annual species should 
be sown in the open ground, but few of them are 
worth cultivating. Synonymea : 1. M. alceoides.

Mai.vaviscus, Decandolle. From malva, a mallow,

vaceae. This is a genus of very desirable plants, on 
account of their rich scarlet flowers. The soil best 
adapted to them is a mixture of loam and peat, and 
cuttings root readily in sand, under a glass ; these 
should be taken oflF as near the stem of the plant as 
X>ossible, not being so apt to rot as when taken off 
by the middle of the shoot. None of the leaves 
should be taken off or shortened above the sand —

Mammea, Linn. Mamev is the ahoriirinal nanqq of 
the species. Linn. 13, Of.* 1, Nat. Or. Guttiferae. 
This is a tall, handsome tree, with a thick, spread- 
ing, elegant head, somewhat resembling Magnolia 
grandijlnra. In the West Indies it is cultivated 
for the sake of its fruit, which is much esteemed, 
and is eaten alone, or cut in slices with wine or 
sugar, or preserved in sugar. It grows freely in 
sandy loam, and cuttings of the ripened wood, with 
the leaves not shortened, will root in sand, under 
a glass, in a moist heat.

Mammillaria, Haworth. From mamma, the nipple ; 
in allusion to the small tubercles. Linn. 12, Or. 1, 
Nat. Or. Cactaceoe. This genus contains some very 
beautiful plants, and all highly-deserving of a place 
in every collection of plants, on account of their 
very curious and interesting habit. To grow them 
well, they require the following treatment : — 
About the middle of April they should be fresh 
potted, in peat and a little sand mi.xed, and then 
plunged in tan, in a pit or frame, where the heat 
must be kept from 85 to 95 degrees by dung linings, 
not giving them much water until they have started 
afresh, and then may be added gentle waterings 
over head, occasionily in the afternoon; they 
should be closed early, and air given early in the 
mornings, and shade during sunshine ; by treating 
them in this manner, they will make an amazing 
growth in the three following months, when they 
may be gradually hardened before removing them 
back to the succulent house ; they are increased by 
offsets, and some of the kinds occasionally produce 
seeds if fertilised. Synoni^mea : 1. M. denaa. 2.
