Acharia tragodes [family ACHARIACEAE]
Information
Perennial shrubby herb up to 40 cm high. Leaf-blade deeply palmately-lobed, 1,5-6,3 cm long, 1,5-6 cm wide, subchartaceous, pubesÂcent; petiole 1,5-3 cm long, pubescent. FlowÂers 1 or more (of one or both sexes) together, shortly pedicellate. Male flowers: Sepals linear to narrowly elliptic, 1,8-3 mm long, 0,5-0,75 mm wide, somewhat recurved, pubescent. Corolla-tube 3-4 mm long; lobes triangular, 2-2,2 mm long. Glands ovate, 1 mm long, 0,75 mm wide. Stamens with filaments 0,5-1,2 mm long; anthers 1-1,5 mm long, glandular. Female flowers: Sepals elliptic, 2-3,5 mm long, 1,5 mm wide. Corolla-tube 4-5,5 mm long, lobes ovate, 3 mm long, 3-4 mm wide. Glands ovate, c. 1 mm long, pubescent. Ovary subses-sile or with stalk 1 mm long, ellipsoid, 2-2,5 mm long, 1,5-2 mm wide; style terete, 2 mm long, lobes 1 mm long, with flabelliform stigÂmas. Fruit ellipsoid, 8-10 mm long, 5-8 mm wide, pubescent. Seed subglobose, 3 mm diam., reticulate. Fig. 41.
Habitat
A perennial, shrubby herb growing up to 40 cm high with deeply palmately-lobed leaves and ellipsoid fruit up to 1 cm long. The specific epithet has been variously spelled as tragodes, tragoides and tragioides, but there is no reason why there should be any departure from the original spelling, tragodes.
Use
Acharia tragodes Thunb., Prodr. 1: 14, t. s.n. (1794); Fl. Cap. ed. Schult. 37 (1823); Harv., Gen. S. Afr. PI. 409 (1838); Arn. & Harv. in Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 1,3: 420, t.9 (1839); Harv. in F.C. 2: 502 (1862); Martin & Noel, Fl. Albany & Bathurst 77 (1960). Type: Thunberg s.n. (UPS, holo!).
