Definition: Amphix, a plant genus, contains one species: Amphionium. This genus is known for its unique arrangement of leaves, where leaf veins are arranged in three distinct layers rather than two as typical on other plant families. The term 'amphanthium' refers to the leaves of this particular species. They are typically arranged in a tripartite pattern, with three parts (basal, mesial, and periantheroid) which correspond to their four leaf surfaces, or lobes. The basal surface is usually more densely covered by veins than the periantheroid surface, while the mesial surface shows fewer veins. The word "amphanthium" has been used in various contexts in literature and theology, reflecting a particular theological interest in the plant's unique morphological properties.
