1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, &C. 3: 
<n 
Or 
Antennaria— continued. 
A. alpina (alpine). /.-heads pink, sub-sessile, in a cymose cluster, 
or sometimes solitary ; involucre livid-brownish, Jin. long. June. 
Z. radical ones spathulate, 4in. long; cauline ones linear. 
Flowering stems lin, to 4in. high, neeing two to five heads, or, 
in the variety monocephala, one head. Europe, North America, 
&e., 1775. Plant tufted, suitable for the rockery. 
A. candida (white). A garden synonym of A. tomentosa. 
A. margaritacea and A. triplinervis are now classed under 
Anaphalis. 
ANTHEMIS. Including Chamomilla (in part). Over 
eighty species have been described (but this number may 
be reduced), natives of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. 
Though the members of this genus known to the old- 
time gardener had little to recommend them, the newer 
kinds are excellent border plants, and furnish a quantity 
of useful material for cutting. They require neither special 
soil nor special culture, and are readily increased. The 
best kinds to grow are the garden forms of A. tinctoria, 
Kelwayi, Kelwayi alba, Canary Bird, and Mrs. H. T. 
Brooks. These are various shades of yellow and white. 
All are worthy of being included amongst showy, hardy, 
border flowers, as they last a long time in good condition, 
and their period of flowering extends over several months. 
To the species described on p. 83, Vol. I, the following 
should be added. See also Achillea and Anacyclus. 
A. Aizoon. The correct name is Achillea ageratifolia. 
A. chia (Chio). fl.-heads white, with a yellow disk, solitary, on 
long peduncles ; involucral scales oblong, with fuscous margins, 
April to June. J. petiolate, glabrous, pinnatipartite; lobes 
incised or pinnatifid; lobules mucronate; petioles somewhat 
sheathing at base. A. 8in. to 12in. Chio, &c. (S. F. G. 884.) 
A. frutescens (shrubby). See Chrysanthemum frutescens 
and Pyrethrum frutescens. 
A. macedonica (Macedonian). jl.-heads white, Daisy-like, with 
a dark yellow centre, produced in succession throughout the 
summer, 7. much divided, of a very pleasing glaucous hue. A. 
6in. to 8in. Macedonia, 1894. A neat, compact bush, about 
lift. across. (Gn. xlvi., 1894, p. 519.) 
A. montana (mountain).* l.-heads white or purplish; outer 
involucral scales fuscous-margined| August and September. 
1. petiolate, sometimes simply pinnatipartite, sometimes nearly 
bipartite, the lobes acute or obtuse. Stem shrubby at base, 
ascending, naked for a long way at the top, one-headed, and, 
as well as the leaves, pubescent or almost silky. Europe, &c., 
1759. Syn. A. saxatilis. 
A. purpurascens (purplish). A synonym of Anacyclus radiatus 
— purpurascens.

ANTHEPHORA (from anthos, a flower, and phoreo, 
to bear). Orp. Graminex. A small genus (about five 
species) of half-hardy, branched or tufted, sometimes tall 
Grasses, natives of tropical America and tropical and 
South Africa. Spikelets one-flowered; glumes three or 
four ; spike terminal, elongated; rachis flexuous. Two of 
the species have been introduced, but it is doubtful if they 
are still in cultivation.

species are comprised in this genus; they are natives of 
Europe, tropical and extra-tropical Africa, and America. 
To those described on pp. 83-4, Vol. I., the following

hereunder, see Bottionea, Bulbine, Chlorogalum, 
Chlorophytum, Paradisia, and Trichopetalum. 
A. echeandioides (Echeandia-like). . arranged in pairs in a 
simple, loose raceme less than lft. long; perianth jin. long, the 
segments orange-yellow, with a keel of three greenish ribs; 
peduncle simple, terete, above lft. long. November. /., produced 
ones five or six, confined to the base of the stem, lanceolate, 
about lft. long, bright green, membranous, channelled. Probably 
Mexico, 1883. Greenhouse. (B. M. 6809.) 
A. Liliastrum. The correct name is Paradisia Liliastrum. 
ANTHIDIUM MANICATUM. See Wood-boring 
Bees.

cleistos, shut up ; alluding to the shape of the blossoms). 
Orp. Loganiacez. A small genus (three or four species) 
of stove trees or shrubs, sometimes climbing, natives of 
tropical Africa. Flowers white or dirty yellowish, rather

branches; calyx four-parted, the segments thick, or- 
bicular; corolla tubular-campanulate, the lobes ten to 
sixteen, twisted; stamens ten to sixteen, affixed below 
the throat; pedicels short; bracts scale-like. Leaves 
large, sometimes several feet long, opposite, obovate or

The following species have been introduced; they thrive 
in a compost of peat and loam, and may be propagated 
by cuttings.

many-flowered. /. oblong, shining green, 44ft. long, 14ft. broad.

ANTHOMYIA. Orv. Diptera. Several very de- 
structive insects fall under this genus. The most note- 
worthy are the Onion Fly (A. ceparwm), Beet Fly (A. betzx), 
Radish Fly (A. radicwm), Cabbage Fly (A. brassicx), and 
Lettuce Fly (A. lactuce). All are of somewhat dingy 
colouring, and resemble house-flies. They are some jin. 
in length, or perhaps a trifle smaller; while the grub is 
of about the same length, whitish, and footless. There 
are several generations of the pests. Those above enu- 
merated are described under the Common names given, 
except in the case of the Radish Fly, which is dealt with 
under Radish.

twenty-five species of small shrubs, mostly South African, 
a few being found in tropical Africa and Madagascar. 
Flowers minute, dicecious, rarely polygamous or hermaphro- 
dite, axillary, sessile, bracteolate. Leaves small, opposite 
or whorled, narrow, Heath-like.
