Dianthera (double anther referring to the separated anther-cells). Acanthaceae. Water-willow. Herbs, mostly of greenhouses and warmhouses, and sometimes of open planting in mild climates.<br />
<br />
Glabrous or pilose perennial herbs or sometimes somewhat woody, mostly of wet places, with opposite, mostly entire lvs.: fls. mostly purplish or whitish, irregular, usually in axillary spikes, heads or fascicles, or the clusters combined in a terminal thyrse; corolla slender tubed, 2-lipped, the upper lip erect and more or less concave or arched and entire or 2-topthed, the lower lip 3-lobed or 3-crenate and spreading, and with a palate-like structure; anther-cells separated on a broadened connective, not parallel with each other: fr. an oblong or ovoid 2-celled caps., the seeds 4 or less: floral bractlets small or minute.—Probably more than 100 species, mostly in warm and tropical countries. Lindau in Engler & Prantl unites it with Justicia as a subgenus, and the number of species is estimated as more than 70 in Trop. Amer. The diantheras are little known in cult. D. Pohliana is to be found in Jacobinia. The treatment given Jacobinia and Justicia applies to these plants.<br />
<br />
D. bullataa. N. E. Br. St. terete, purplish: lvs. elliptic, to 4½in long, short-stalked, cordate at base, bullate or puckered between the veins, dark green above and purple-veined beneath: fls. whiteish, small, clustered. Borneo. I.H. 33:589.—A. handsome foliage subject, with the appearance of a rubiaceous plant. —D. ciliata, Benth .&Hook. (Jacobinia ciliata. Seem.). St. obscurely 4-angled( 2 ft.: lvs. ovate-lanceolate, 2-3 in. lone, short-stalked: fls. violet with white palate, sessile, many in a short-peduncled fascicle; calyx ciliate; corolla-tube ¾ in. long, cylindrical; upper lip very small, 2-lobed, concave and recurved; lower lip very large and showy (1¼ in. across), flat, with 3 large lobes. Costa Rica. Panama( ?). B.M. 5888 (as Beloperone ciliata, Hook. f.). — Described as an annual. Perhaps not of this genus. L.H.B.<br />
