Anemone
Anemone (family Ranunculaceae) A genus of poisonous,
perennial herbs (or, rarely, low shrubs) that have
rhizomes,
palmate, lobed leaves some of which are
radical, the stem leaves occurring in a
whorl of 3 some way below the flowers, and solitary flowers (or occasionally 2 or 3 flowers together). They have a
perianth of 1 whorl, which is petal-like, and many free
stamens and
carpels. The fruit is a head of unplumed
achenes. There are about 120 species, almost cosmopolitan and especially found in northern temperate regions.
