Angianthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which was first described by Wendland in 1810.[1][2][4] The type species is Angianthus tomentosus.[1][2]
The genus name derives from the Greek: angeion, a vessel or cup, and anthos, flower, and "allud(es) to the cup-like shape of the ring of broad pappus-scales in A. tomentosus."[5]
All species of this genus are endemic to Australia.[3]
