Eranthemum (Greek, lovely flower). Acanthaceae. Tropical shrubs and sub-shrubs, some of which are cultivated chiefly for their foliage and others for their flowers.
Leaves entire or rarely coarsely toothed: fls. white, lilac, rosy or red, borne in various ways; bracts and bractlets narrow, small; corolla-tube long, slender, cylindrical throughout or rarely with a short throat; limb 5-parted; stamens 2; ovules 2 in each cell; seeds 4 or fewer.—Perhaps 30 species. The genus Daedalacanthus, although in a different tribe, is separated only by a combination of technical characters, but the garden forms of both genera described in this work are all distinguishable at a glance. For cult., see Justicia. Consult Daedalacanthus for related species.
The following trade names belong to plants grown chiefly for their foliage. Probably many of them belong in other genera. —B. albo-marginatum. Lvs. broadly margined with white and irregularly suffused gray.—E. atrosanguineum, Hort. Intro, by W. Bull, 1875. Lvs. large, dark, wine-purple, or blackish crimson, ovate entire, opposite, stalked. Said to endure the hottest sunshine.—E. cultratum. "Lvs. shining, thick, deep-veined." —E. Dutremblayanum, Hort., is supposed to be a garden hybrid. Intro. from France in 1907.—E. Eldorado. Lvs. greenish yellow, veins deeper yellow.—E. igneum. G.W. 3, p. 159. See Chamseranthemum.—E. Magneanum, Hort., is recorded as a garden hybrid. Intro, from France 1907. Scarcely known in U. S.—E. nerium rubrum presumably a misprint for nervum-rubrum, has lvs. "irregularly shaped, shaded with light and dark green, and blotched with yellow, which darkens to reddish purple." Possibly=Fittonia Verschaffreltii. — E. nervosum =Daedalacanthus nervosus, T. Anders. —K. nigrescens. Presumably with blackish lvs.—E, pulchellum, Hort. and Andr.=Daedalacanthus nervosus, T. Anders,.—E. purpureum. "Lvs. and sts. dark, lurid purple." Siebrecht & Wadley. —E. Wattii, Stapf, is probably the correct name for the plant treated as Daedalacanthus Wattii, Bedd. See KM 8239. G.C. III. 45:89- Wilhelm Miller. N. Taylor.
