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. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.

 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.
