Rhexia (Greek, rupture, referring to its supposed properties of healing). Melastomaceae. Meadow Beauty. Low perennial often bristly herbs suitable for border and wild-garden planting. Leaves opposite, sessile or short-petioled: fls. terminal, solitary or cymose; calyx-tube urn-shaped, adherent to the ovary below, and continued above it, persistent, 4-cleft at the apex; petals 4, oblique, falling early: stamens 8: caps. 4-celled, with 4- to many-seeded placentae.—About 12 species, N. Amer. Rhexia virginica is found wild in company with side-saddle plants (Sarracenia purpurea) and cranberries in the low meadows of Massachusetts. It is what would be called a bog-plant. It is a pretty, low-growing, tuberous-rooted plant blooming in summer and chiefly interesting as being one of few species of a genus belonging to a family almost wholly composed of shrubby plants from tropical countries, such as Centradenia, Pleroma, and Medinella. It increases by means of tubers and seeds, and under suitable conditions soon makes large clumps. Tubers potted in the autumn and kept in a coldframe force nicely in springtime. (T. D. Hatfield.)
