Angianthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. All species of this genus are endemic to Australia.
Taxonomy
The genus was first described by Johann Christoph Wendland in 1810, for the species Angianthus tomentosus. 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. Angianthus tomentosus, although originally the type species, is now considered to be a synonym of Siloxerus tomentosus, but the genus name Angianthus is conserved against Siloxerus.
