History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2254. Ma7-chantia. Named by Nicholas Marchant, in honor of his father John Marchant, the first botanist 
whom the Academy of Sciences of Paris admitted among its members, in 1666. Soft-leaved creeping plants, 
with green cellular fleshy fronds spreading over the surface of the ground in wet places. M. heraisph£erica and 
polymorpha are often the pest of the florist, whose flower pots are overrun by them, and continually dis- 
figured. 
2255. Biccia. Pietro Francisco Ricci, was a Florentine botanist, who left some of his works to the academy 
of Florence. Little, generally floating, simple plants, of the nature of which very little is known. Only one 
kind has been observed in fructification, and that is of a very ambiguous character. The thecse, or the organs 
so called, are little round bodies immersed in a cavity of the frond, and containing minute sporules, 
2256. Anthoceros. From avS-a?, a flower, and x.i^a.?, a horn, on account of the horn-like form of the theca, 
which old botanists considered to be tlie flower. Minute frondose plants, with a linear 2-valved theca, con- 
taining a columella to which the sporules are attached. In habit they resemble Jungerraannia.
