Trichinium (Greek, hairy, alluding either to the plant in general or to the fl.-heads). Amarantaceae. Herbs, subshrubs or rarely shrubs glabrous or pubescent, adapted to greenhouse cult.: lvs. alternate, narrow, rarely obovate or spatulate, entire: fls. in dense spikes or globose or oblong heads, white, straw-colored or rose, hermaphrodite; perianth narrow or elongate, 5-parted, segms. equal, linear, rigid, usually plumose; stamens 5; ovary sessile or stipitate, glabrous or lanuginous, ovule 1: fr. an indehiscent utricle.—About 60 species, natives of Austral.

T. Manglesii, Lindl., is perhaps the choicest species. It has violet-purple fls. in large pyramidal heads 3 in. long and 2 in. wide at base. It could probably be grown as a summer annual. B.M. 5448. F.S. 23:2396. R.H. 1866:291. F. 1864:217. I.H. 13:464. G.C. 1864: 555; III.32:181. G. 25:20. Gn. 68, p. 225. CH
