Angianthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. ^{[3] [4] [5]} All species of this genus are endemic to Australia. ^[2]

Taxonomy

The genus was first described by Johann Christoph Wendland in 1810, for the species Angianthus tomentosus. ^{[3] [4]} The genus name derives from the Greek: angeion, a vessel or cup, and anthos, flower, and refers to the cup-like shape of the ring of broad pappus-scales. ^[6] Angianthus tomentosus, although originally the type species, ^[3] is now considered to be a synonym of Siloxerus tomentosus , but the genus name Angianthus is conserved against Siloxerus. ^{[7] [1]}
