moos in Collins herb, apparently the plant of 
Mx. but I cant be certain as he omitted the sin- 
gular obliquity of the leaves almost as in Cha- 
masyke, and the striking rufous color almost 
like snuff of the whole plant even the stipules* 
about 3 inches high, leaves 3 lines long, quite 
©bliqual at the base altho’ sessile, flowers few 
and small, 
841. AMORGINE Raf, calix Sparted per- 
sistent calieulate, segments obtuse, convex out- 
side, canaliculate inside, 3 or 4 small scales at 
the base. Corolla none. Stamens 5 free short 
inserted on calix, anthers round, no sterile sta- 
mens. One style entire, stigma simple obtuse. 
Capsule utricular monospenn. Dichotome ar- 
ticulate, leaves opposite with stipules , flowers 
terminal corymbose.— Another new G. par- 
taking of habit of Anyehia, but flowers as in 
Argyrocoma yet colored and different with sin- 
gle style as in Biunalis, Cadelaria &e, of family 
Aotyranthidjes. The name was one of Dios- 
corides for Parietaria, 
842. Amorgine albescens Raf, smooth erect 
dichotome, leaves shorter than internodes linear 
cuneate acute, stipules lanceolate ; flowers co- 
rymbose crowded sessile naked albescent — 
Florida, anonymous in Collins herb, probably a 
larger plant than akin, stem rigid, leaves elon- 
gate almost like Argyrocoma iminerve drying 
black like them ; flowers forming a compact 
corymb, sessile without bracts nor leaves except 
the short calicule, of a dirty white color or tin- 
ged of incarnate, A very distinct sp. and even 
G. overlooked or mingled in our Achyranthes, 
which form many Genera, Steiremis, Caraxe- 
ron, Phylepidum &c for which see my flora
