AndeXchnb, Linn. The name of the Purslain 

 in Greece. Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. Or. Euphor- 

 bi&cece.. Bastard Orpine. A weed, of simple

AndreAa, Bedwig. Named in honour of J. 

 G. R. Andrew, a German professor. Linn. 24, 

 Or. 5, Nat. Or. Andrceacece. This remarkable 

 genus differs from all other mosses, in having 

 a capsule, which splits into four valves, coher- 

 ing at their ends by means of the persistent 

 lid ; it agrees with Sph&gnum in having no 

 footstalk, but in its room an elongated recep- 

 tacle, and appears to be a transition from 

 Andrceacets to Hepdtwx. This is, however, 

 only apparent. All the species are natives of 

 rocks or mountains, and are remarkable for 

 their nearly black, ov dark-brown colour. — 

 Loudon's Encyclopaedia of Plants — alpina, 

 nivalis, libthii, rupistris. 



ANDR-EAC&a:. A small order of mosses, natives 

 of cold and temperate regions, often found in 

 the bleakest places, near the limits of perpetual 

 snow. They are usually termed split mosses, 

 because the spore cases open by valves without 



. elaters. 



Androgynous, producing male and female 

 flowers on the same plant, or on the same 

 spike, or head.

 the young plants should be planted out in the 

 spring. Synonymes :1, A, litcida, populifblia,
