Osbeckia (Peter Osbeck, 1723-1805, student of Linnaeus, Swedish naturalist). Melastomaceae. About 60 species of herbs, subshrubs and shrubs in the tropical parts of the eastern hemisphere, only seldom cult, for the pink or reddish showy fls. that are borne in heads or panicles or sometimes solitary: usually erect, and scabrous or hispid: Lvs. 3-7-nerved, somewhat serrate or entire: calyx-tube urn-shaped or nearly globose, hispid, the limb mostly 5-lobed and the lobes sometimes deciduous; petals commonly 5, obovate; stamens 10 as a rule, the anthers with mostly 2 tubercles at base: caps, small, in the dry calyx-tube. They are grown as warmhouse herbs. Perhaps O. stellata, Wall, is the species most likely to be found in cult.: shrub, 6-7 ft. or less, with 4-angIed branchiate: Lvs. opposite, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 3-45 in. long, ciliate, 5- nerved: fls. lilac-red, in terminal few-fid, clusters; petals 4, nearly or quite orbicular, ciliate, 1½ in. long.
