ANEMONELLA: Syndemon. 



ANEMONOPSIS (Anemone-like). Ranunculacex. 

 A beautiful hardy plant for border purposes because of 

 its effective foliage and showy flowers. 



This is a perennial herb, with erect sts. : radical and 

 st.-lvs. rather large, ternately compound and much 

 incised, similar to Actcca: sepals many (often only 9), 

 regular, petal-like, deciduous; petals many (often 12), 

 short, sessile, with nectariferous impression at the base; 

 carpels few (3-4), forming many-seeded follicles. In gen- 

 eral appearance similar to the Japanese anemones, but 

 smaller in all its parts, and with numerous drooping fls., 

 about l]4 in. across, of pale purple color. Amonotypic 

 genus from Japan, now planted in American gardens. 



Anemonopsis thrives well in rich, deep loam, in well- 

 drained situations in partial shade. Propagation is by 

 division of the roots in late fall or early spring. Fresh 

 seed may be sown in the fall or early the next spring 

 and the plants will show some flowers the first season. 

 Sow the seed in clean beds of black sandy loam, and 

 cover very slightly. 



macrophylla, Sieb. & Zucc. The petals, instead of 

 spreading, form a half-closed bud-like cone within the 

 sepals. Gn. 25, p. 383. K. C. DAVIS 



ANEMOP.SGMA: Bignonia. 



ANEMOPSIS (Greek, from the resemblance of its 

 fl.-cluster to the flower of an anemone). Saururdcese. 

 YBBBA MANSA. Aquatic herb, yielding medicinal 

 products. 



A monotypic genus closely allied to Houttuynia of 

 E. Asia. Stoloniferous aquatic plant with pungent aro- 

 matic rootstocks: Ivs. mostly radical, minutely punc- 

 tate: infl. a conical spike or spadix subtended by an 

 involucre of petal-like bracts, resembling the fl. of an 

 anemone; fls. small without calyx or corolla, each sub- 

 tended by a bractlet; stamens 6-8, with short fila- 

 ments adnate to the ovary at the base; ovary sunk in 

 the rachis of the spike, 1-celled, composed of 3 or 4 

 carpels, with as many spreading stigmas and parietal 

 4-10-ovuled placente ; caps, dehiscent at the top; 

 seeds rounded, punctulate. Calif, and Mex.

 APACHE BEADS. 

 VAVISA. An erect 

 aquatic herb: radi- 

 cal Ivs. long-pet- 

 ioled, oblong -obo- 

 vate, cordate at the 

 base; cauline If. 

 broad, clasping, 

 from the axil of 

 which grows a 

 branchlet reduced 

 to 1 or 2 Ivs.: fls. 

 minute, crowded, 

 forming a conical 

 spadix with a whorl 

 of whitish petaloid 

 bracts below it, 

 giving it the ap- 

 pearance of the fl. 

 of an anemone.

the S. W. U. S., and are used medicinally in the form 

 of an infusion for malaria, dysentery, and syphilis. 

 They are also pulverized and applied locally to ulcers 

 and malignant sores. The plant grows in swampy 

 places and on the margins of springs and ponds more 

 or less alkaline. The roots are gathered in the dry 

 season in Mex. and sold in the local drug markets.

Stout: fls. small, white or greenish, in many-lvd. in- 

 volucels: fr. fattened dorsally, with very prominent 

 ribs. A genus of 60 species in north temperate re- 

 gions, and from New Zeal. Several of them are na- 

 tive to N. Amer. They are perennial herbs with com- 

 pound Ivs. and large umbels of white fls. not unlike the 

 cow-parsnip (Heracleum). The word "angelica" is 

 loosely applied to various plants. In the American 

 tropics, it is used for some of the araliads. The angel- 

 ica of vegetable gardens is Archangelica officinalis.
