Daedalacanthus nervosus, T. Anders. (Eranthemum nervosum, R. Br. E. pulchellum, Andr., and some dealers, while that of others is E. bicolor, and that of Roxburgh is D. purpurascens). Fig. 1204. Glabrous or very nearly so: Lvs. ovate or elliptical, acuminate at both ends, somewhat crenate or entire: spikes axillary, opposite, overlapping and interrupted: bracts elliptical, acute, nervose: limb of the corolla as wide as the tube is long. India. B.M. 1358 (as Justicia nervosa). Gn. 51:352. G.C. II. 21:415.—A very pretty shrub for the warm- house, 2-6 ft., its fls. being of a color that is not very common in winter-blooming plants. It is an easy subject to manage, requiring a light, rich soil, full sunlight and plenty of water. Cuttings of young growth root readily in a warmhouse.
