ANGULOA 



ANISUM 



has been completed, and these will start new shoots 

 usually in spring. Division must be made after the 

 shoots are visible from the back bulbs. The black-spot 

 disease of the bulbs is often fatal to anguloas. It appears 

 suddenly and is generally due to too much moisture 

 in the atmosphere or at the roots. Directly it is seen, 

 the affected parts must be cut out clean, and dry sul- 

 fur applied; this, if done in time, will stop the prog- 

 ress of the disease. If brown scale attacks the plants, 

 sponge with soap and water, taking care not to injure 

 the tender leaves. (Orpet.)

ANHALONIUM. Cactacex. A name used in the 

 first edition of this Cyclopedia, but now given place to 

 the slightly older name Ariocarpus, which see. A. 

 Williamsii and A. Lewinii, sometimes referred to 

 Echinocactus or to Mamillaria, are here treated under 

 Lophophora, which see. 



ANIGOZANTHOS (Greek, expanded flower). 

 Amaryllidacese. AUSTRALIAN SWORD LILT. About 8 

 Australian greenhouse or half-hardy perennials with 

 sword-like Ivs. and woolly-yellow, -green, or -red fls. in 

 short 1-sided racemes or spikes and a much elongated 

 perianth-tube. The two species likely to be met with 

 are A. flavida, Red. (A. coccinea, Paxt.), with mostly 

 red-woolly fls. 1J4 in. long and appendaged anthers; 

 and A. Manglesii, Don, with fls. about 3 in. long, red- 



woolly at base and green beyond, the anthers not 

 appendaged. These plants are little known in N. 

 Amer. 



ANISACANTHUS (Greek, unequal acanthus). Acan- 

 thacex. A genus of 6 species of Mexican and American 

 shrubs, with mostly lanceolate, entire, petioled oppo- 

 site or clustered Ivs., and loosely spicate or scattered 

 red fls. 1 in or more long; corolla-lobes 4, the tube 

 2-lipped, the upper lip 3-parted, the lower entire; 

 stamens 2, equaling or exceeding the corolla-lobes. 



Wrightii, Gray. Height, 2-4 ft.: Ivs. 1-2 in. long, 

 oblong- or ovate-lanceolate, acute or acuminate: fls. 

 racemose, or paniculate-racemose, the corolla vermilion 

 or purplish red, 1 l /y-'2 in. long, the lip shorter than the 

 tube; calyx deeply 5-cleft. S. and W. Texas. Offered 

 by Franceschi of Santa Barbara, Calif. 



Gonzalezii, Greenm. (A. Con- 

 zatlii, Hort.). Sub-shrub, the st. 

 much branched : Ivs. 1-2 in. long, 

 J^-J^in. wide, acuminate, and 

 obtuse at the apex: fls. cymose- 

 raccmose, brick-red, or scarlet and 

 larger than in the preceding. 

 Oaxaca, Mex. Suitable for dry 

 places. Intro, by Franceschi in 



1911. N. TAYLOR.f 



ANISE. Umbelllferx. An aro- 

 matic condimental and medicinal 

 herb. 



Anise (Pimpinella Anisum, 

 Linn.) is an annual, easily grown 

 from seeds in any warm and mel- 

 low soil. The seeds are commonly 

 sown where the plants are to 

 stand, and the plant matures 

 rapidly. The seeds arc used in 

 medicine and in cookery, and for 

 flavoring liquors; they yield a 

 highly perfumed essential oil; they 

 are mostly grown in Mediter- 

 ranean countries. The Ivs. are 

 also used as seasoning and garnish- 

 ing. The plant reaches a height 

 of 2 ft. or less, bears twice-pinnate 

 Ivs. and small yellowish white fls. 

 in large, loose umbels. The seeds 

 are oblong and curved, ribbed on 

 the convex side, grayish, the size 

 of caraway seed. In common with 

 all umbelliferous seed, anise seed 

 does not retain its vitality long, 

 the normal longevity being 1-3 

 s. Native from Greece to 

 Egypt. L. H. B. 



208. Anguloa Clowesii. 



( x K) ANISOTES (Greek, unlikeness). 



Acanthacese. Broad-leaved shrubs 

 of about 4 Arabian and African species, one of which 

 has been intro. to cult, recently. Fls. in short axil- 

 lary clusters; sepals 5, nearly free; corolla 2-lipped, 

 in shades of red; stamens 2, the filaments long and 

 glabrous: fr. a caps. A. diversifdlius, Balf., from the 

 Isl. of Socotra, is an erect, nearly glabrous shrub 

 less than 2 ft. high: Ivs. elliptic-ovate or obovate, 2 

 in. or less long, flame-colored or yellow, tubular and 

 2-lipped, the lips curved. B.M. 8219. Warm green- 

 house, blooming spring and summer. Requires the 

 treatment given to Justicia and Jacobinia. Prop, 

 easily by cuttings. L. H. B. 



ANISUM. An old generic name now referred to 

 Pimpinella. A. officinale, D.C. (P. Anisum) is Anise, 

 which see.
