They have the habit and perianth of Aloe, but differ in the red- margined leaves and fr. a berry. They are fleshy sub- shrubs with hermaphrodite fls. and introrse anthers as in Sanseviera, but differ in having declined hypogynous stamens and several ovules in a cell, whereas Sanseviera has erect stamens inserted on the throat of the tube and solitary ovules.

This includes an unim- portant, hardy, yellow-flowered "everlasting" known to the trade as the African Daisy or Afhanasia annua. The heads are about three-eighths of an inch across, and composed entirely of disk rts. There are 14 or more heads in the largest corymb, which may be 2 in. across. This plant was removed from Athanasia largely because it is an annual herb, while the Athanasias are shrubs or subshrubs. A more fundamental reason for giving this plant a separate genus is that it has a cup-shaped pappus, while in Athanasia the pappus is absent or con- sists of small, rather bristly chaff or else of hyaline hairs. inodft
