Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture


Paronychia argyrocoma, Nutt. (Anychia argyrocoma, Michx.). Erect or ascending perennial, 3-8 in. high, making broad tufts or mats, clothed with silvery appressed scale-like hairs: leaves linear; stipules silvery white, scarious, entire, usually shorter than the leaves : flowers in forking cymes; bracts large, silvery, membranous; staminodia minute. Rocky places. Maine and N. H. to Ga. and Tenn.—Also called silver chickweed, silverhead, and silver whitlow-wort. The northern form is sometimes separated as yar. albimontana, Fern., differing from the type (which occurs from Va. south) in having branches mostly floriferous rather than most of them sterile, leaves glabrate and with involute margins, and calyx-awns subulate and glabrescent.—P. argyrocoma is not difficult of cult, and is prized for rockeries, its silvery tufted appearance lending a distinct charm to the collection for this purpose. Prop, by seeds and division. CH
