Phrynium (from Greek word for toad, because the plant inhabits marshes). Maraniceae. Maranta-like plants with creeping rootstocks and large oblong showy radical leaves.<br />
<br />
The genus is closely allied to Calathea and Maranta and is often confused with them. The Marantas are New World plants with 1 seed-bearing locule in the fruit, whereas Calathea and Phrynium have 3-seed- bearing locules; or at least a 3-celled ovary. In Calathea, the fl.-cluster is terminal on a leafy st. or rarely on a leafless scape arising directly from the rhizome; in Phrynium, the cluster is lateral from the sheathing petiole. In Calathea the corolla-tube is usually slender; in Phrynium it is usually short.—Species 14 and a few others of doubtful position are admitted to the monograph by Schumann in 1902 (Engler's Das Pflanzen- reich, iv. 48), and other species have been described since then; they are native in India, Malasia to New Guinea.<br />
<br />
Phryniums are grown the same as calatheas and marantas (which see). P. variegatum, N. E. Br., is probably a variegated form of Maranta arundinacea. It is a stove plant of dwarf habit with ovate-lanceolate acuminate green lf.-blades which are marked with cream-white or white stripes and bands. I.H. 33:606. F.R. 3:469. Gt. 46, p. 581. J.H. III. 28:27; 61:560. It is a worthy plant, now coming to be popular. P. Micholitzii, Hort. Lvs. broadly oblong, about 10 in. long, acute, green and broadly white-striped above from the midrib outward, paler beneath, midrib claret- red, petiole red. New Guinea. G.C. III. 33:suppl. April 18. R.H. 1903, p. 226. P. floribundum, Lem., is Calathea violacea, Lindl., a tall species with oblong or oblong-lanceolate lvs. green above and purplish and glaucescent beneath and violet-colored fls., from Brazil B.R. 961. L.B.C. 12:1148. For P. eximium, see Calathea eximia. L.H.B.<br />
