IRESINE (from eiros, wool; referring to the woolly 
aspect of the branches). ORp. Amarantaceæ. A genus 
of about eighteen species of erect herbs or sub-shrubs, 
natives of tropical and sub-tropical America. Flowers 
white or greenish, inconspicuous, with three bracts. 
Leaves opposite, petiolate, very ornamental in the culti- 
vated sorts. Iresines are indispensable plants in all 
bedding-out arrangements, on account of their beautifully- 
coloured foliage. They are easily propagated in spring 
for this purpose, by inserting in a close pit or propagating 
frame. The best plan for securing and preserving © 
healthy stock plants is, to insert a quantity of cuttings
