Hermannia (Paul Hermann, 1646-1695, botanical traveller, professor of medicine at Leyden). Sterculiaceae. Shrubs, mostly small, growing chiefly in Afr., but a few in Amer. from Texas south, some 150 species in all. They are little known horticulturally. Lvs. alternate, entire, toothed or pinnatifid, sometimes laciniate: fls. many, yellow, orange, cream-color or reddish, on axillary peduncles or panicled; calyx campanulate, 5-cleft, often inflated, without involucre; petals 5, clawed; stamens 5, standing opposite the petals, the filaments joined at the base: fr. a coriaceous 5-celled and 5-valved many-seeded caps. H. texana,Gray, occurs in dry or rocky places in Texas and adjacent Mex.: 2-4 ft.: lvs. tomentose, suborbicular to oval, serrate or dentate: fls. dull scarlet or crimson. H. candicans, Ait., is a variable species of S. Afr.: erect or diffuse, tomentose: lvs. long-petioled, elliptic or ovate-oblong, obtuse, nearly entire: fls. more or less tomentose, bright yellow, the petals twice as long as calyx. Gn. 71, p. 15, where the name "cowslip bush" is proposed, its fls. closely resembling those of a small cowslip; blooms spring to fall. Other species of Hermannia are likely to be mentioned in horticultural literature. L.H.B. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
