Mahernia verticillata, Linn. (M. odorata, Hort., not of botanists, which is Hermannia Presliana). Honey-bell. Fig. 2302. A frequent plant in conservatories, and sometimes seen in window-gardens and collections: half woody, very diffuse and straggly, not making a central leader, the terete crooked sts. scabrous: lvs. small, much cut into linear divisions, with deep-cut stipules: fls. ¾ in. or less long, nodding, usually about 2 together, from axillary shoots, sweet, fragrant, honey-yellow. — Free bloomer in winter and spring. Of easy cult. Prop, by cuttings. A very pretty twiggy bush for the cool greenhouse. The branches are long and flexible, so that specimens may be trained into any form. It may also be used for hanging- baskets. It is of easy cult, in pots, but lifts badly.
