ANEMOXOPSIS 



much incised, similar to Actsea : sepals many ( i.t'tc-n 

 only 9), regular, petal-like, deciduous ; yntiiN iiniiv 

 (often 12), short, sessile, with nectariferous iiii|ii--iMii 

 at the base; carpels few (3^), forming hkih;. - r,i, ,| 

 follicles. In general appearance similar to tin- -hcian. v,- 

 Anemones, but smaller in all its parts, and with numer- 

 ous drooping fls., about IK in. across, of pale purple color. 

 Thrives well in rich, deep loam, in well-drained situations 

 in partial shade. Prop, by division or seed, in late fall 

 or early spring. 



macrophylla, Sieb. & Zucc. (A. Califdrnica, Hort.). 

 The only known species. The petals, instead of spread- 

 ing, form a half-closed bud-like cone within the sepals.

 Ivs. 2-temate, with quinate divisions, the leaflets thin, 

 ovate-lanceolate, irregularly sharp-toothed. Pa. to N. C.

 foliage. Int. by H. P. Kelsey, I89I.

 pot plants in warm glass-houses, and prop, by seeds or

ANGIOPTERIS (Greek, vessel-fern). Marattictcem. 

 An Old World genus of coarse greenhouse ferns, with 

 twice- or thrice-pinnate lvs., and the sporangia arranged 

 in boat-shaped marginal conceptacles. In cultivation, 

 requires plenty of room and abundant drainage. The 

 only recognized species is 



ev^cta, Hoffm. Growing from an erect caudex, 2-6 ft. 

 high : lvs. 6-15 ft. long, mostly bipinnate, with swollen 

 rachises; leaflets 4-12 in. long, ^-IXin.widc, the margin 

 entire or slightly toothed. India and Jap. to Madagas- 

 car and Queensland. S. 1:399.— Known under various 

 names in cultivation, as A. longi folia, etc. The trade 

 names, which appear to indicate species, may be re- 

 garded as varieties. l. ji. Underwood.

 the atmosphere for their ni-i-ds, and do not take kindly 

 to confinement in pots. Moisture is essential at all 

 times, as AngrEecums do not have bulbs to fall back on 

 for their sustenance during rest or blooming, in which 

 respect they resemble the Aerides, Vandas and Sacco- 

 labiums. The moss must not be allowed to become de- 

 cayed, but kept living by renewal when seen to be 

 necessary, usually in springtime. Some of the favorite 

 species are A. Ellisii, sttperbnm, sesqtiipedale, 

 HumMotii and falcatum. Cult.br E. O. Orpet.
