Definition

n. a disease in turnips produced by one of the slime-fungi and usually the result of improper cultivation. It is often confounded with Finger-and-toe (dactylorhiza) which is rather a degeneration of the plant than a disease the bulb branching out into a number of taproots while the skin remains unbroken. Anbury causes a scabbed and broken skin and tubercular growths on the roots and at the base of the bulb.
