Lepidagathis(Greek, scale and ball, in allusion to the curved infl.). Acanthaceae. Tropical herbs and shrubs; one is in horticultural literature as a warm-house evergreen shrub. It is L. cristata, Willd., in Trop. India, with purplish flowers, linear or oblong nearly glabrous leaves and spinose-acuminate bracts and bracteoles: flowers in globose clusters or heads near the base of the plant; corolla 1/3 in. long, in bud densely hairy, white with purple or brown spots: sts. 6-24 in., procumbent. Lepidagathis has about 50 species, of which two are in the American tropics and the others in the Old World. It is little known to cultivators.
