Usually prop, by division; also by seeds and cuttings. Hardy, requiring plenty of sun, and thriving even in poor soil. The following four species are perennials:

A. arenosa, Scop. Fls. rose varying to white: Lvs. pinnatifid, those on the st. deep-toothed. Eu.—A. aubrictioides Boiss. Much like A. albida, but pale pink. Cilicia.— i blepharophylla. Hook. & Arn.
