1692. Hymenopappus. From i^'/jv, a membrane, and n-«!rT«?, pappus, in allusion to the membranous pappus 
of its seeds. 
1693. Melananthera. From f^iXcc,?, black, and anthcra. A plant with black anthers, a very unusual cha- 
racter in this tribe of plants, the anthers of which are usually either white or yellow, according to the color of 
the corolla. 
1694. Marshallia. Named after Henry Marshall, an Englishman, author of a sort of history of the trees 
and shrubs of North merica, published in 1778. 
1695. Spilanthes. From (rrriXoi, a spot, and a.ii^o?, a flower, in allusion to the heads of flowers of the original 
species, which are yellow with a brown disk. Jacquin says he so called it, because the flowers are spotted with 
black points. S. salivaria is used by the natives of South America to relieve the tooth-ache by tlic salivation 
which it produces copiously. The flower-heads of S. oleracea are an excellent ingredient in salads, on account 
of their agreeable and lasting piquancy. 
The leaves of Spilanthes tinctoria of Loureiro, which is said to be very similar to the Abcedaria figured by 
Rumphius, vol. ii. t. 65., give out when bruised a beautiful blue color, quite equal to indigo. 
1696. Salmea. This name was originally given by Cavanilles to a genus related to Aloe, and was named 
after Prince Charles of Salm-Salm, a great promoter of botanical science. It was transferred to the genus 
which now bears the name by Professor DecandoUe, in the appendix to his Hortus Monspeliensis.
