Anoiganthus 



(51 ) 



Anona 



sand. A little fibrous loam may be used. Fill the 

 pans three parts full of clean crocks. 



Other Cultural Points. Some of the most suc- 

 cessful cultivators grow them in large pans, con- 

 tinually covered or sheltered with bell-glasses, 

 slightly tilted by placing a small piece of wood or 

 slate under one edge so as to encourage a gentle 

 circulation of air and prevent damping.

ANOIGANTHUS. 



I'.ullious plants (ord. Amaryllideic) more closely 

 allied to Sternbergia than Cyrtanthus, having the 

 straight-tubed flower of the former. They require 

 cool greenhouse treatment, such as is given to 

 Cyrtanthus. When resting, keep cool and dry. 

 Propagation is by seeds and offsets, the latter when 

 repotting. Good substantial fibrous loam, a little 

 leaf soil, and sand to keep it open, suit. Put the 

 bulbs well down. 



Principal Species : 



breviilorus, !)", My., bright yel. (syn. Cyrtanthus 

 lutescens of gardens). 



ANOMATHECA. 



Dwarf. bulbous, rather tender plants (ord. Irideae), 

 now referred to Lapeyrousia, with bright flowers; 



suitable for pots or borders in mild climates- 

 Propagated by seeds or otl'sets, and thriving in 

 light and rather sandy soil. Frame culture is very 

 suitable for these plants, except grandillora and 

 juncea, which require a greenhouse, and may be 

 either grown in pots or planted out. Seeds sown in 

 the open when ripe will give flowers the following 

 year. 



AxOMATHECA CItrENTA. 



Species : 



cruenta, <>" to 1', Jy., crim. Very beautiful (syn. 

 Lapeyrousia cruenta). 



grandiflora, 1', Sep., Oct., sc. (syn. L. grandiflora). 

 juncea, 9", Je., pk. (.//. L. juncea). 



ANOMOCHLOA. 



A perennial Grass (wvZ.Gramineae') requiring stove 

 heat. The leaves are arranged in two ranks. The 

 flowers arc in terminal spikes. Propagated by 

 seeds, also by division of the tufts. Fibrous loam, 

 leaf mould, and sand suit. 



Only Species : 



marantoidea, 10", st. 



ANONA. 



Evergreen trees and shrubs (ord. Anonacca?) with 

 fragrant foliage, and requiring stove heat. They 

 furnish various fruits in tropical countries, and 

 have different names according to the species, 

 such as Sour Sop, Custard Apple, Alligator Apple, 

 and Bullock's Heart. Propagated by seeds in pots 

 plunged in a hotbed in spring. Also by cuttings 

 of ripened wood in a propagating case in strong
