ANDRYALA. 
from A. ciliata by their being stiffer, much narrower, pointed, and 
more shining. The flowers stand up each on a little stem of nearly half 
an inch, twice as long as the leaves, and are bright pink, nearly as big 
again as those of A. Charpentiert, and almost as big as those of 
A. ciliata. This treasure is easy of culture for a high-alpine Aretian 
Androsace, not fearing damp on its bald leaves, and thriving in cool 
and light moraine mixture, especially, like all the rest of the less 
saxatile species, if water percolate far beneath throughout the 
summer, and the drainage be sharp and perfect. Catalogues now 
often try to sell this as a novelty, under the name of A° Pacheri, 
which is a later and invalid synonym.

Andryala is a race of woolly-leaved Composites very close to 
Hieracium, and indeed so close that A. lanata, the one popular 
member of the family, has now been transferred to Hieracium. 
Still remains, however, A. Achardii from hot mountain cliffs of Spain, 
an almost woody rock-plant for a very hot dry crevice, with 
silky-silvery whity-yellow leaves, and golden flowers each by itself on 
a 4-inch glandular stem. It should not be allowed to suffer from 
winter-wet. 
Anemone.—This glorious family meets us on the threshold of its 
house with the problem of itsname. Isit Anémone or is it Anemone ? 
Linnaeus called it Anéméne, twisting the word out of dveuos, to mean 
wind-flower, a significance, in spite of rhapsodists, singularly inappro- 
priate, and one which the Greek word dveuwvy is hardly capable of 
carrying. But before him Tournefort, with prior authority, had 
called the race Anemone, from the Syrian Na-ma’an, the cry of lament 
for dead Adonis, whose blood flames yearly back again to light in the 
pulsing scarlets of A. fulgens and A. coronaria. Therefore it seems
