Anemia (Greek, naked; without indusia). Schizxaceae. Tropical ferns, with 1-3 pinnate Lvs. with the lower pair of pinnae erect, elongate and bearing the sporangia in panicles at their extremities.—Of the 40 species, 2 are found in the southern states, and a few are occasionally in cult. Anemias are dwarf, compact ferns, suited for shelves, or for growing near the glass in warm pits or low houses. They prefer being grown in small pots to being planted out in the fernery. Their growth is too slow to make them popular decorative ferns for general purposes. Propagation is by spores, which germinate freely; tufted kinds by division between March 15 and April 30.—Schneider, Book of Choice Ferns.
