Paronychia argyrocoma Nutt. Gen. i : 160. 1818. Stem erect or ascending, much branched, 3'-8' high, clothed with silvery appressed scale-like hairs. Leaves linear, i-nerved, acute or mucronate at the apex, pubes- cent or nearly glabrous; stipules silvery-white, scarious, entire, usually shorter than the leaves; flowers in fork- ing cymes, subtended and concealed by the large silvery membranous bracts; calyx-segments 2"-2i" long, their awns erect, nearly as long as the segments, pubescent or glabrous; staminodia minute and much shorter than the filaments or wanting. In rocky places, mostly on mountains, Maine, New Hamp- shire and Massachusetts, and from Virginia to Tennessee and Georgia, the northern plant less pubescent than the southern, and more floriferous. Ascends to 4200 ft. in North Carolina. Called also silver chickweed and silverhead.
