Frankenia (John Frankenius, Swedish botanist, 1590-1661). Frankeniaceae. Low perennials, evergreen, sometimes woody, mostly in saline soils, more or less heath-like; lvs. opposite or in 4's, thickish, entire, small and numerous on the sts., often fascicled on short branchlets; fls. small, perfect and complete, sessile or nearly so, solitary or in dichotomous clusters; calyx and corolla 4-5-merous, the sepals united, the petals with a crown at the base of the blade; stamens usually same number as petals and alternate with them; style 3-4-cleft; ovary 1-celled, with parietal placentae, ripening into a caps. inclosed in the calyx.—-Probably 30 species in many parts of the world, a very few of them in the S. W. U. S. The family Frankeniaceae is closely allied to Caryophyllaceae, from which it differs in the parietal placentae, and to Hypericaceae, from which it differs in habit, in the definite stamens and the valvate calyx. The family has 3 other genera, as it is defined by Niedenzu, these being Hypericopsis with 1 species in S. Persia, Beatsonia with 1 species in St. Helena, and Niederleinia with 1 species in Patagonia. The frankenias are practically unknown as cult. plants, although sometimes mentioned as carpeters and for rock-gardens. F. laevis, Linn., the sea-heath, is offered. It is a diffusely much-branched plant, spreading 6-8 in., glabrous or nearly so; lvs. revolute and thereby appearing linear, crowded in opposite clusters; fls. few, sessile in terminal leafy clusters, pink. England and the Medit. region. F. pulverulenia, Linn., is a closely allied hairy species; it has been reported in ballast at New York.<br />
