Micranthus (small flower). Acanthaceae. Two genera, one iridaceous and one acanthaceous, bear the name Micranthus. The acanthaceous genus now becomes Phaulopsis (or Phaylopsis), which see. The iridaceous genus Micranthus comprises two species from the Cape, allied to Watsonia but differing in the very short tube of the small straight perianth, the fls. in long dense distichous spikes. They appear to be not in regular cult. The species are M. spicatus, Pers., rose-colored, and M. plantagineus, Eckl., blue.
