For a description of the Longwood Gardens dial and for a detailed article
on the question of the relationship between the analemmatic sundial and the
analemma curve, see:

www.longwoodgardens.org/Sundial/IntroSundial.htm

Two very different uses of the term 'analemma' gave rise to today's
terminology.  Dialists should not be confused into thinking that the
reference is to the same meaning.  The article covers much of the etymology
that got us to where we are today.
