and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
1727. Astelma. From «, privative, and s-eAjttat, a crown, in allusion to the construction of the fruit. Beau- 
tiful Cape shrubs with everlasting flowers. 
1728. Athrixia. So called by Mr. Ker, we presume from «, without, and hair, in allusion to the 
absence of hairs upon the receptacle and the stigmas of the ray. A pretty greenhouse shrub, with narrow 
lanceolate leaves, and bright crimson solitary heads of flowers. 
1729. Xeranthemum. From dry, and avB-os, a flower, on account of the dry nature of the leaves of 
the calyx, which retain their color and form for years. The species are popular annual flowers, of easy culture 
in light rich soil. They are valued for their properties of retaining their texture and color, when gathered and 
dried, in the manner of Gnaphalium, Elichrysum, and other genera of what are vulgarly called everlastings. 
1730. Elichrysum. From r,Xios, the sun, and %?v(ro?, gold, in allusion to the brilliant yellow color of the flowers. 
The species are much admired for the brilliancy of their flowers even in a dried state. E. bracteatum is the 
handsomest annual species, and should be raised on a hotbed, and afterwards transplanted into a warm situation.
