Angianthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.

[2] 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.
