44 NEOBOT. 



mous in Collins herb, apparently the plant of 

 MX. but I cant be certain as he omitted the sin- 

 gular obliquity of the leaves almost as in Cha- 

 masyke, and the striking rufous color almost 

 like snuff of the whole plant even the stipules, 4 

 about 3 inches high, leaves 3 lines long, quite 

 obliqual at the base altho' sessile, flowers few 

 and small. 



841. AMORGINE Raf. calix Sparted per- 

 sistent caliculate, segments obtuse, convex out- 

 side, canaliculate inside, 3 or 4 small scales at 

 the base. Corolla none. Stamens 5 free short 

 inserted on calix, anthers round, no sterile sta- 

 mens. One style entire, stigma simple obtuse. 

 Capsule utricular monosperm. Dichotome ar- 

 ticulate, leaves opposite with stipules, flowers 

 terminal corymbose. Another new G. par- 

 taking of habit of Anychia, but flowers as in 

 Argyrocoma yet colored and different with sin- 

 gle style as in Buinalis, Cadelaria &c, of family 

 ACHYRANTIIIDES. The name was one of Dios- 

 corides for Parietaria, 



842. AMORGINE ALBESCENS Raf. smooth erect 

 dichotome, leaves shorter than internodes linear 

 cuneate acute, stipules lanceolate ; flowers co- 

 rymbose crowded sessile naked albescent 

 Florida, anonymous in Collins herb, probably a 

 larger plant than akin, stem rigid, leaves elon- 

 gate almost like Argyrocoma unirierve drying 

 black like them; flowers forming a compact 

 corymb, sessile without bracts nor leaves except 

 the short calicule, of a dirty white color or tin- 

 ged of incarnate, A very distinct sp. and even 

 G. overlooked or mingled in our Achyranthcs, 

 which form many Genera, Steiremis, Caraxe- 

 ron, Phylepidum &c for which see my flora
