Plant described as suffruticose and erect, the st. branched at base and terete, adpressed-pilose but becoming glabrous: lvs. narrow, spatulate, narrowed into long petiole, apex acuminate and somewhat mucronate: fl.-heads sessile, single, in pairs or 3's, terminal and axillary; bracts ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, nearly or quite entire; staminodia much shorter than stamens, 2-3-cut at apex.—To this variable species appear to belong the garden names picta, tricolor, aurea, aurea nana compacta, paronychioides, versicolor aurea, magnifica, and others. Var. typica, Regel (Alternanthera paronychioides, Hort.), is low, 2-3 in. tall, with olive-colored lvs. and the upper ones red at apex. Var. spathulata, Regel (A. spathulata, Lem.), is 6-8 in. tall, the st. and lvs. red. I.H. 12:445. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
