The generic name, Anotis, has been formed from 
the Greek, to indicate the absence of ears, or acces- 
sory teetli, from the calyx. 
The genus Houstonia, as originally constituted, 
has long been known to cultivators of the flower 
garden, and the plant now under consideration will 
be recognized as one of its near allies. Houstonia 
ccerulea of this work. No. 493, now ranks in the 
genus Anotis. 
Anotis ciliolosa is one amongst the most desirable 
of low plants, on account of the perpetual presence 
of its flowers, during the principal months of the 
summer. It may be strictly considered an alpine 
plant, and will require the treatment adapted to 
this interesting portion of garden occupants. It 
should be planted in sandy peat, have a good sup- 
ply of potsherds at the bottom of each pot, and in 
winter be protected in the cold frame. If turned 
into the borders in May, it will flower freely till 
autumn, when it must be taken up with soil about 
its roots, and potted, preparatory to its proper win- 
ter treatment. When the plants are strong, it may 
be divided at any season of the year.
