ANAPHALIS (said by De Candolle to be an ancient 
Greek name of some Gnaphalioid plant, and that it may 
be taken as an anagram of the very similar genus Gnapha- 
lium). Everlasting. Syn. Antennaria (in part). ORD. 
Composite. This genus comprises about twenty-five 
species of greenhouse or hardy, erect, perennial herbs, 
mostly natives of tropical and temperate Asia, one 
(A. margaritacea) being broadly dispersed over North 
America and Eastern Asia, and also occurring in Hurope. 
Flower-heads rather small, crowded at the tips of the 
branches or loosely corymbose, heterogamous or unisexual ; 
involucre campanulate, the bracts in many series, often 
white; receptacle flat or convex. Leaves alternate, entire, 
petiolate, sessile, or decurrent. Only three species call 
for mention here. For culture, see Antennaria. 
A. margaritacea (pearly). Pearl Cudweed ; Pearly Everlasting. 
The correct name of Antennaria margaritacea. 
A. Royleana (Royle’s). l.-heads white, tin. to jin. in diameter, 
disposed in rounded corymbs; involucral bracts also white. 
September. J. sessile, gin. to ljin. long, linear or linear-oblong, 
obtuse or acute, woolly beneath or on both surfaces, one-nerved, 
flat or having recurved margins. Stems many, 4in. to 6in. high. 
Alpine Himalayas, 1882. Hardy. 
A. triplinervis (triple-nerved). The correct name of Antennaria 
triplinervis. 
ANBURY. Sce Finger and Toes. 
ANCHOMANES. This genus embraces one or two 
species, natives of Western tropical Africa. Flowers 
moneecious, on an inappendiculate spadix; spathe mar- 
cescent, open, erect, cymbiform or lanceolate, fleshy, 
conyolute towards the base. Leaves solitary. To the 
species described on p. 70, Vol. I., the following should 
be added : 
A. dubius (doubtful). 7., spathe purplish outside, cream- 
coloured within, elongated-oblong-lanceolate ; spadix one-fourth 
shorter than the spathe. J. very large, sparsely prickly; 
primary segments dichotomous; secondary ones pinnatifid or 
ee Rhizome tuberous, oval or oblong. Africa. (G. C. 
885, xiii., p. 669.) 
ANCHUSA. Syn. Buglossum. This genus embraces 
about thirty species, natives of Europe, North and South 
Africa, and Western Asia, one or two of them being also 
found in other regions (two in Britain). The one usually 
grown is A. italica, a hardy perennial of great value in the 
border on account of its intense blue flowers; while to 
beekeepers it has an additional charm. In the wild garden, 
again, it is very effective, and should always find a place. 
To the species, &c., described on p. 71, Vol. I. the 
following should be added: 
A. affinis (related). #. blue, like Forget-me-nots, funnel-shaped 
above, tin. to 4in. long; racemes short, disposed in a narrow, 
terminal panicle. Summer. J. oblong, entire, slightly obtuse ; 
radical ones 5in. long; cauline ones sessile, lsin. long. Stem 
8in. to 9in. long. Abyssinia, 1895. Perennial. 
A. angustifolia (narrow-leaved). A form of A. officinalis. 
A. hybrida (hybrid). 7. purple, with the processes of the throat 
white; raceme spike-like, at first compact, eventually elongated. 
June to August. 7. oblong-lanceolate, sinuate-toothed, slightly 
undulated. A. lft. to 14ft. Italy, 1820. Annual. 
A. ochroleuca (yellowish-white). ‘< yellowish-white ; corolla 
tube as long as the calyx; bracts linear-lanceolate. July and 
August. J. lanceolate, hispid-ciliated, minutely strigillose. 
Stems erect, minutely villous. h. 2ft. Caucasus, &c. Perennial. 
. M. 1608.) The varieties cwrulescens and leptophylla have 
luish flowers.

ANCISTROPHYLLUM (from agkistron, a grapple- 
hook, and phyllon, a leaf; in allusion to the habit of the 
plants). Orb. Palmxe. A small genus (three or four 
species) of tufted, tall-climbing, stove Palms, natives of 
Western Africa. Flowers hermaphrodite, mediocre ; spadix 
pyramidal, 4ft. to 6ft. long, distichous, doubly-branched, 
the branches pendulous ; spathes tubular, sheathing. Fruit 
small, ovoid-globose, one-seeded. Leaves remote, alternate, 
equally pinnatisect; segments somewhat aggregated or 
alternate, linear-lanceolate or oblong-faleate. For culture 
of the species introduced, see Calamus. 
A. lzeve (smooth). jl. alternately distichous, much-spreading, 
twin; spadix terminal, ovate, 14ft. to 2ft. high, with six to 
eight primary branches. J. 4ft. to 5ft. long; segments nine to 
thirteen on both sides, broadly lanceolate-elliptic, narrowed 
towards the base, acuminate at apex, slightly faleate, unarmed ; 
petioles 8in. to Yin. long. Stem J0ft. to 40ft. long, as thick as 
a finger, unarmed. Gaboon, &. Syn. Calamus levis (T. L. 8.

A. secundiflorum (side-flowering). 1. twin; spadix terminal, 
broadly ovate, 4ft. to 6ft. high; primary branches ten to

teen species, all natives of South-western Australia. 
Leaves with a shortly-sheathing, often membranous. base, 
the upper ones passing into floral leaves or bracts. To 
the species described on p. 71, Vol. I., the following 
should be added: 
A. czerulea (blue). ji. singly terminating short peduncles or 
branchlets, usually crowded in a spike-like panicle; sepals 
pink, about 4in. long; corolla blue, shorter than the calyx. 
7. from a broad base tapering into a long point, undulated or 
twisted, pubescent when young; those on the main stems 4in. 
long. h. lft. to 2ft. Plant erect. (R. G. 1180, f. 2.) 
A. depressa (depressed). jl. solitary at the ends of the 
branchlets ; sepals greenish-white, 4in. to }in. long, glabrous or

ANDRICUS TERMINALIS and A. CUR- 
VATOR. These are two of the commonest Galls found 
upon the oak. The former is the well-known Oak Apple 
associated with the 29th of May ; and the latter, the green 
globular swelling, about the size of a pea, found in late 
spring on both sides of the leaves. It is on account of this 
curling of the leaves that the specific name of cwrvator has 
been applied. See under Galls and Oak Galls. 
ANDROLEPIS is included by J. G. Baker under 
FEchmea (which see), the species retaining its specific 
name Skinnert.
