	Eranthemum (Greek, lovely flower). Acanthaceae. Tropical shrubs and sub-shrubs, some of which are cultivated chiefly for their foliage and others for their flowers.		Eranthemum (Greek, lovely flower). Acanthaceae. Tropical shrubs and sub-shrubs, some of which are cultivated chiefly for their foliage and others for their flowers.

	Leaves entire or rarely coarsely toothed: fls. white, lilac, rosy or red, borne in various ways; bracts and bractlets narrow, small; corolla-tube long, slender, cylindrical throughout or rarely with a short throat; limb 5-parted; stamens 2; ovules 2 in each cell; seeds 4 or fewer.—Perhaps 30 species. The genus Daedalacanthus, although in a different tribe, is separated only by a combination of technical characters, but the garden forms of both genera described in this work are all distinguishable at a glance. For cult., see Justicia. Consult Daedalacanthus for related species.
