Mentzelia (Christian Mentzel, 1622-1701, German botanist). Loasaceae. Showy-flowered plants, some of the herbaceous kinds grown as flower-garden subjects.<br />
<br />
Herbs annual and perennial, shrubs and even small trees, glabrous or setose, the sts. often becoming white and shining: lvs. usually alternate, mostly coarsely toothed or pinnatifid: fls. solitary or in racemes or cymes, white, yellowish, yellow or red; petals 5, regularly spreading, convolute in the bud, deciduous; stamens indefinite, rarely few, inserted with the petals on the throat of the calyx: seeds flat, in a caps, dehiscent at the summit.—Species probably 60-70 in the Americas. A good number are native in the U. S. They thrive in sunny, moist or dry situations sheltered from strong winds. M. Lindleyi, from Calif., is frequent in eastern gardens, where it is commonly known as Bartonia aurea; the other species are offered by western dealers, but are not generally in cult. They flower in summer. Although interesting and showy, these plants have not become popular with gardeners. The seeds should be sown where the plants are to remain, as they do not bear transplanting. M. bartonioides, Benth & Hook., is Euc- nide (which see); M. gronoviaefolia, Fisch. & Mey., is the same. By some authors, part of the species are separated as Nuttallia; also as Hesperaster.<br />
