• Anagallis — An historical genus of annual or perennial herbaceous plants in the family Primulaceae (currently mostly merged into the genus Lysimachia), distributed globally across temperate and subtropical regions. These small-sized plants are structurally recognized by their prostrate or ascending stems, opposite leaves, and solitary axillary flowers with bright shades of red, blue, or pink, utilized both in folk medicine due to their saponin content and as ornamental groundcovers.

The best-known example is Lycopodium annotinum (stiff clubmoss), a lower vascular plant in the pteridophyte group.
• Anogramma — A genus of small, terrestrial ferns in the Pteridaceae family, characterized by finely dissected fronds and an annual or ephemeral lifecycle unusual for pteridophytes. The best-known species is Anogramma leptophylla, a unique structural plant that survives from year to year primarily as a perennial tuberous gametophyte, colonizing damp, shaded, rocky soils in Mediterranean and temperate climates.
• Anogramma leptophylla — A unique species of small fern in the Pteridaceae family, remarkable for its annual or ephemeral life cycle, an atypical phenomenon among pteridophytes. The plant possesses thin, delicate, translucent fronds, but its ultimate structural feature is that the sporophyte regularly dies off during the dry season, survival from year to year being secured by a perennial tuberous gametophyte colonizing shaded rocky niches in Mediterranean and temperate zones.
• Anthology — A compilation of selected literary pieces (poems, prose, essays, dramatic fragments) belonging to several authors or to a single author, chosen on the basis of well-defined aesthetic, thematic, chronological, or geographical criteria.
