Spiral waves and pulses in the excitable medium with an anomalous diffusion are studied. In the medium with an one-sided fractional diffusion in the x-direction and a normal diffusion in the y-direction, a pulse, traveling along the positive x-direction, has a smaller velocity, which is different from the diffusion of a source in the other media. Its propagating velocity is a linear and increasing function of the square root of diffusion parameter, whose increasing rate depends on the fractional order. A minimal value of the diffusion parameter is needed for successfully propagating pulses, and the threshold becomes large with a decrease of the fractional order. For pulse trains, the frequency-locked bands are shifted along the increasing direction of the perturbation period when the fractional order is decreased. In the propagating process of a spiral wave, the tip drift is induced by the one-sided fractional diffusion, which may be explained by analyzing the SV area in front of the tip.
