Gromphæna[1] is the name of a plant, the stem of which is
covered with leaves of a green and rose colour, arranged alter-
nately. The leaves of it are administered in oxycrate, in
cases of spitting of blood.
1. Sprengel and Desfontaines identify it with the Amaranthus tricolor;
Fée is strongly of opinion that it has not been correctly identified.
