Muehlenbeckia (after Dr. Muehlenbeck, a Swiss physician). Polygonaceae. A rather small group of climbing or erect, usually slightly shrubby plants, all inhabitants of the South Temperate Zone.

Leaves alternate, with sheathing stipules at the base: fls unisexual, small, fascicled in the lf.-axils; perianth with 5 nearly equal lobes; stamens 8; ovary 1-celled, 1-ovuled; styles 3: achene obtuse or acute, 3-angled, crustaceous, about equaling the succulent perianth. Ornamental plants, various in appearance. Species about 15.

M. adpressa, Meissn. Large, diffuse, bushy plant, with small pink fls. in paniculate spikes: lvs. up to 2 in. long, broadly oblong, often cordate, glabrous. Austral. B.M. 3145 (as Polygonum).— Cult.in Eu.—M nana, Hort., is said to be a dwarf form. The botanical status is uncertain.
