Scientific Names

Read about Phryma in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Phryma (one of the many names which Linnaeus never explained). Phrymaceae. One genus and one species comprises the family. It is a hardy perennial herb of little horticultural value. Erect, divaricately branching, with coarsely toothed ovate lvs. and small purplish or rose-colored opposite small fls. borne in long slender terminal spikes. It seems to have been rarely cult, in Eu. and offered in America by dealers in native plants. Phryma has been considered an outlying member of the verbena family. This is because its ovary is 1-celled, while others of the Verbenaceae, as a rule, have a 2- or 4-celled ovary. There is some evidence for regarding it as a 2-celled verbenaceous plant in which only half the ovary develops. This plant has the infl. of the verbena tribe and the habit of Priva. Ovule solitary, erect, orthotropous, laterally affixed at the base; seed without albumen; cotyledons convolute; radicle superior; stamens 4, didynamous; style slender and stigma 2- lobed. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
