Thryallis (old Greek name, transferred to these plants). Malpighiaceae. Confusion in practice has arisen in the application of this name and Galphimia. As expressed by J. N. Rose, "the genus Thryallis was published by Linnaeus in the second edition of his Species Plantarum, basing it upon a single species, T. brasiliensis. In 1829 Martius described two additional species, T. longifolia and T. latifolia. These two species, however, were soon found not to be congeneric with the original species, but instead of being taken out as a new generic type, were allowed to remain as Thryallis, while the true type of that genus was transferred to Galphimia." Kuntze gave the name Hemsleyna to the two plants of Martius. If Thryallis is restored to its original application, with its legitimate extension, then the plants described under Galphimia, page 1312, become T. brasiliensis, Linn. (G. brasiliensis, Juss.); T. hirsuta, Kuntze (G. hirsuta, Cav.); T. glauca, Kuntze (G. glauca, Cav.). There is a native species, T. angustifolia, Kuntze (G. angustifolia, Benth.), in Texas and adjacent Mexico, 1 to 2 1/2 feet tall, more or less woody at base, with linear to lanceolate leaves and petals yellow turning reddish.
