Anemone Pulsatilla, Linne. 



Europe and Northern Asia. On limestone soil. Tliis pretty 

 perennial lierb is of some medicinal importance. 



Angopliora intermedia, Candoile. 



South East Australia. This is the best of the Angophoras, 

 attaining a height of 50 feet, and gi-owing with, the rapidity 

 of an Eucalyptus, but being more close and shady in its 

 foliage. It would be one of our best trees to line public 

 roads, and to effect shelter plantations. 



Anona Cherimolia, Miller. 



Tropical and sub-tropical South America. This shrub or 

 tree might be tried in the frostless lower valleys of East 

 Gipps Land, where humidity and rich soil will also prove 

 favourable to its growth. It yields the Cherimoyer fruit. 

 The flowers are very fragrant. 



Anthemis nobilis, Linne. 



The true Camomile. Middle and South Europe, North 

 Africa. A well-known medicinal plant, here frequently used 

 as edgings for garden plots. Elowers in their normal state 

 are preferable for medicinal use to those, in which the ray- 

 flowers are produced in increased numbers. They contain a 

 peculiar volatile oil and two acids similar to Angelica and 

 Valeriana acid. 



Anthemis tinctoria, Linne. 



Middle and South Europe, Orient. An annual herb. The 

 flowers contain a yellow dye. 



Antliistiria avenacea, F. v. Mueller. 



New South Wales and Queensland. A nutritious perennial 

 pastui'e-gmss. 



Anthistiria ciliata, Linne, fil. (AntMstiHa Australis, E. 

 Brown.) 



The well-known Kangaroo Grass, not confined to Australia, 

 but stretching thi'ough Southern Asia also, and through the 

 whole of Africa. It is mentioned here, because its growth 

 should be encouraged by every means. There are several 

 species of Anthistiiia deserving introduction and naturalisa- 

 tion in our colony. 



Anthoxanthum odoratum, Linne. 



The scented Vernal Grass. Europe, North and Middle Asia, 

 North Africa. A jDerennial, not of great value as a fattening 

 grass, yet always desii'ed for the flavour which it imparts to 

 hay. Perhaps for this purpose the scented Andropogons 

 might serve here also. On deep and moist soils it attains 

 its greatest perfection. It is much used for mixing among
