I've found my trusty houseplant book from the 1970s which has a chapter on
bottle gardens. It gives long lists of plants for terraria, broken down
into tropical, woodland/temperate and bog terraria.

The list for tropical is: asparagus densiflorus sprengeri; begonia
boweri;
chamaedorea elegans; chlorophytum bichetii; cissus antartica; cordyline
terminalis lilliput; dizygotheca elegantissima; ficus pumila; fittonia
verschaffeltii; maranta leuconeura; nephrolepsis exaltata; pepeomia;
pellionia; pellaea rotundifolia; pilea; podocarpus macrophyluss;
saintpaulia; saxifraga stolonifera; selaginella; and syngonium.

If you need the common names, it lists those alongside the Latin. Also
gives loads of tips, soil mixtures, etc. Give me a shout if you need
more.

WOW!
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to post this list - now to seek out
more info and suppliers.
