segments hardly acute, not nervose. A var. 
my A, conferta atl. j. has the same habit, but 
flowers crowded, leaves subserrulate. I have 
several other var. of this Genus, my A. polygo- 
noides is the 2d (A. canadensis or Nuttal and 
most of our botanists,) it is quite erect with nar- 
row longer leaves often uncial patent subciliate, 
flowers nervose acute. The A. capillar is N. 
is the real A . dichotoma of Mx. quite distinct 
by broad leaves elliptic, stem filiform smooth, 
flowers as in 837. 
338. Anychia nudiflora R. smooth, erect, 
branches unilateral, leaves linear acute ; flow- 
ers in terminal naked cymes with few leaves, 
pedunculated, calculated by radiate oval stipu- 
les, calix nervose hardly acute — from Fiorida 
collected by Kin, a small plant forming a pas- 
sage to Argyrocoma, but flowers as in Anychia 
and leaves small. 
839. Argyrocoma imbricata Raf. Parony- 
chia argyrocoma N. Anychia do Mx. has crow- 
ded leaves and flowers narrow linear elongate 
ad pressed imbricate, flowers with imbricate 
silvery bracts or stipules. — While the A. dicho- 
toma which is Achyranthes do Linn, lllece- 
brum do Wild has flowers corymbose with 
lax and less silvery bracts ; both have the calix 
long with very thick dorsal nerves, end very 
acuminate. A third sp. is Par, sessiliflora N. 
but his JP. herniarioides is probably of next 
Genus. 
810. Plagidia rufa Raf. Anychia hernia- 
roides Mx ? dichotome scabrous, much branch- 
ed fastigiate entirely rufous, leaves obliqual 
crowded elliptic mucronate ciliolate, stipules 
lanceolate acuminate, flowers solitary.— Des-
