History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
553. Philoxerus. From tptXo?, a lover, and , arid ; a plant delighting in sandy soil. The species resemble 
Gomphrena or Achyranthes. 
554. Dcsmochceta. From dia-fjco;, a bond, and x:«''''«> a sheath, in allusion to the coherence of the flowers in 
their heads. It was called Pupalia by Jussieu, from its Malabar appellation. Plants nearly related to Achyr- 
anthes, in which they were included by Linnaeus. 
555. Rlecebrum. A name of Pliny, designating a kind of wild purslane. It is now applied to singular little 
weed-like plants, with white scarious stipules to their leaves. 
556. Alternanthera ; that is to say, alternate anthers, those organs being by turns fertile and barren. 
557. Paronychia. Something which cures whitlows, or maladies of the finger nails, called by the Greeks 
iTcteovvx'oi. These are dwarf plants which grow in light soil, and are well adapted for pots or rock-work. 
558. Chenolea. From x.'^v, a goose, and olea, an olive. The leaves are silvery, like those of the olive ; the plant 
humble like the Goosefoot. This plant is noticed for its silvery leaves : it is propagated by young cuttings 
planted imder a hand-glass. 
559. Anychia. A word with the same meaning as Paronychia (in No. 557.), and a genus with similar habits.
