OCYMOPHYLLON, a name given by Buxbaum to a new genus of plants, the characters of which are these: The flower is of the staminate kind, having no petals; this stands upon the embryo fruit, which afterwards becomes an oblong quadrangular feed-vessel, divided into four cells, and containing roundish and very small seeds; its leaves are like those of the common ocymum or basil, whence its name; and its place of growth is in damp marshes. Boccone has described it under the improper name of glauca, calling it the great, green-flowered, marsh glauca.
