The Aharonov-Anandan geometric phase is generalized to non-unitary evolution, and is shown to be always real. By using a counter-example, which is exactly solvable, it is shown that Berry's geometric phase is not always the adiabatic limit of Aharonov-Anandan's geometric phase for a non-Hermitian dr
