Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Krameria (John George Henry Kramer, of Hungary in the early part of the 18th century). Leguminosae; by some referred to Polygalaceae. Woody plants, or perennial herbs, of minor horticultural value, sometimes grown in the warmhouse, from Trop. Amer., upward of a dozen species. Silky-tomentose: lvs. alternate, small, entire or of 3 lfts.: racemes terminal, carrying red or purplish fls.; sepals 4 or 5, about equal; petals 5, very unequal in sets of 3 and 2, the former long-clawed and connate or rarely free, the 2 orbicular and very much shorter; stamens 4, connate part way, the anthers opening by a pore: fr. 1 -seeded, coriaceous and indehiscent. K. triandra, Ruiz & Pav., of Peru, is probably the most important species horticulturally: small shrub: lvs. alternate or scattered, close together, elliptic or obovate, apiculate, hairy: fls. bright scarlet. This and other species supply the rhatany root of apothecaries. L.H.B.
