Anemone

…A perennial plant of the Ranunculaceae family that grows on the forest edges of mountainous areas (illustration). It is also called anemone. It has a white rhizome that spreads horizontally underground. The above-ground parts emerge in early spring and flower, and in early summer they die, leaving behind fruit, making it a short-lived spring-flowering plant. The basal leaves have long petioles, are bifoliate and compound, and the leaflets are notched. The flower stalk grows from the tip of the rhizome, is 18-30 cm tall, and does not usually have basal leaves at its base.
