FRCELICHIA Moench. Meth. 1: 50. 1794. 
Annual or perennial cinereous-pubescent herbs with opposite 
leaves and opposite or whorled spikes, flowers subtended by 
three scarious bracts (the laterals strongly imbricated), the 
densely woolly calyx tubular, cleft into five scarious lanceo- 
late lobes, two of them becoming prominently winged or 
toothed below, the remaining three more or less tuberculate 
or smooth, all indurated in maturity and enclosing the thin 
indehiscent utricle, the filaments united into a tube bearing 
the five oblong anthers in the sinuses of the strap-shaped 
characters alone which may with any degree of facility be laid 
hold of in this polymorphous group is, on the one hand, the 
unfailing presence of prominent, distinct, dorsal teeth on the 
23—Vol. XX.—No. 8.
