Iresine herbstii, Hook. f. (Achyranthes verschaffeltii, Lem.). Lvs. broadly ovate or orbicular, obtuse and notched at the apex, purple-red, with prominent arched veins, or in the commoner variety green or green-red with yellow veins (var. aureo-reticulata). S. Amer. B.M. 5499. H.F. II. 7:103. This was described and figured in Aug., 1864, by Lemaire as Achyranthes (?) verschaffeltii (I. H. 11:409), and later by Van Houtte as Iresine verschaffeltii (F. S. 15:1601). In July 1864, however Hooker had published it as Iresine herbstii, in honor of Mr. Herbst, of the Kew Nursery, who intro. it from the River Platte. There are horticultural varieties with Latin names. I. wallisii, Ort., is a small form, with numerous small roundish lvs., which are bronze-red or dark red above and dark blood-red beneath.
