Anemone is a genus of about 120 species of flowering
plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native to the temperate zones. It is
closely related to Pulsatilla
('Pasque flower') and Hepatica;
some botanists include both of these genera within Anemone. Anemone
are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright
or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided
leaf blades. The leaf margins are toothed or entire. Flowers with 4 to 27
sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2 to 9 flowers, or in umbels, above a
cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Sepals may be any color. The pistils
have one ovule. The flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the
majority of species. The fruits are ovoid to obovoid shaped achenes that are
collected together in a tight cluster, ending variously lengthened stalks;
though many species have sessile clusters terminating the stems. The achenes
are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them. Source
