Stromanthe (Greek, couch and flower; said to allude to the form of inflorescence). Marantaceae. Perennial herbs grown in the warmhouse for the foliage. Stems leafy, erect, from a thick horizontal rhizome, somewhat branched, the base covered by the long lf.- sheaths: lvs. short-petioled: infl. rather lax, terminal on a long peduncle, more or less compound, rarely narrow, almost raceme-like, frequently all colored blood-red; bracts and bractlets spathe-like, colored; sepals 3, free, oval-oblong; petals 3, slightly narrower than the sepals; ovary 1-celled, 1-ovuled: fr. subglobose.—About 12 species, S. Amer. (Schumann, in Engler's Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 11.—IV. 48). Closely allied to Calathea, Maranta, Phrynium and Thalia. It agrees with Maranta and Thalia in having a 1-loculed caps., and thereby differs from Calathea and Phrynium, which have 3 locules. From Maranta it differs in having a very short perianth-tube and the segms. not standing opposite each other. From Thalia it differs, as does Maranta, in having 2 side staminodia rather than 1. For cult., see remarks under Calathea. CH
