Cult. None of the species are worth cultivating, except in 
botanic gardens. They will grow in any light soil; and will be 
easily increased by cuttings planted under a hand-glass, or by 
seed, which latter mode will be preferable. 
LXXXI. ANO'TIS (from a priv. ove wroc, ous otos, an ear; 
there are no accessory teeth to the calyx). D.C. prod. 4. p. 431. 
—Hedyatis species, Ruiz et Pav. and Cav.—Houstonia species, 
Lin. and others. 
Lin. syst. Tetrdndria, Monogynia. Calyx with an obovate 
tube, and a 4-toothed limb (f. 96.a.); teeth acute, separated 
by acute recesses, with no accessory ones. Corolla salver-shaped 
(f. 96. b.), having the tube a little longer than the lobes; limb 
4-cleft; throat almost glabrous. Anthers inclosed or a little ex- 
serted (f. 96.c.). Stigma somewhat 2-lobed (f. 96. e.). Cap- 
sule ovate, crowned by the calyx, 2-celled, with a loculicidal 
dehiscence at the apex. Seeds 4-8 in each cell, ovate, and rather 
angular.—Subshrubs and herbs, natives of America. Leaves 
opposite, linear, mucronate or oval. Stipulas undivided or 
toothed. Flowers terminal, solitary or corymbose. This genus 
is nearly allied to Rachicdllis, but differs from that genus in the 
want of accessory teeth to the calyx, whence the generic name. 
The genus probably contains the types of 3 different genera, 
which it may hereafter be necessary to separate. 
Sect. I. Ericiét1s (this name has been given to this sec- 
tion on account of the plants contained in it having the habit of 
heaths). D. C. prod. 4. p. 431. Heath-like small shrubs, rarely 
herbs. Leaves linear, mucronate. Corolla salver-shaped, hav- 
ing the tube longer than the lobes (f. 96. d.) ‘Tube of calyx almost 
adnate with the ovarium to the apex.
