cyme, and, in fact, but few flowers at all; and the flowers themselves 
have long petals, wide asunder, and the upper three are dotted at the 
base, while in Mr. Henderson’s plant the flower is more compact, and the 
two lower petals are dotted. Seven species are mentioned in Link and 
Otto’s leones Plantarum, just published, and as of these seven M. punctatus 
appears the nearest, I have given it that name. It was called Campylan- 
thera in Mr. Henderson’s nursery, and that name was put on the plate, 
as I did not see the living flower till after the drawing was made. 
Whatever may be the true specific name of Mr. Henderson’s Mari - 
anthus , it is a very pretty greenhouse shrub, with twining branches, silky 
leaves, and abundance of flowers; and it was raised from Swan River 
seeds given to Mr. Henderson by Captain Mangles. It would be an 
exceedingly pretty plant with Deutzia scabra , and some others of a 
similar habit, for a balcony, for twining up the pillars of a conservatory, 
or for planting out in a warm situation, as it is quite as hardy as Sollya, 
to which it is very nearly allied. 
PLANTS SUITED FOR GROWING IN WINDOWS, AND THE MODE OF 
MANAGING THEM.—No. II. 
BY MR. FORTUNE, OF THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S GARDEN. 
I explained in my last letter what I conceive to be the principles of 
window-gardening, upon which the success of the lover of these plants 
depends. If these principles are kept in mind, they will explain the 
different modes of treatment recommended in the following account of 
plants suited for such situations, and enable that treatment to be varied 
according to circumstances. As many of these plants require precisely 
the same management, it will be convenient to divide them into classes, 
and convey the information in as concise a manner as possible. 
CLASS i. 
In this, plants which are commonly called Succulents will be arranged, many of them being 
admirably adapted for window cultivation. 
Cactus speciosus. 
„ speciosissimus. 
„ flagelliformis. 
Aloe (Partridge-breasted). 
„ verrucosa. 
Crassula coccinea. 
Mammillaria (any of the common sorts). 
Echeveria secunda. 
Mesembryanthemum coccineum. 
,, ,, aureum. 
,, ,, muricatum. 
,, ,, tigrinum. 
,, ,, dilatatum. 
Rochea falcata. 
Sempervivum arachnoideum. 
These and many others of the same description are found to succeed 
perfectly in windows under the management which I shall now describe.
