As considered in the broader sense ( sensu lato) the genus is sometimes considered to include a number of other genera, such as Anemonoides, Anemonastrum, Hepatica, Pulsatilla, Knowltonia, Barneoudia, and Oreithales. Taxonomy Īnemone was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 and is situated in the tribe Anemoneae, subfamily Ranunculoideae, and the family Ranunculaceae. The achenes are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them. 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 flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the majority of species. The leaf margins are toothed or entire.įlowers with 4–27 sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2–9 flowers, or in umbels, above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. Description An illustration of an anemoneĪnemone are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright or prostrate. Some botanists include these genera within Anemone. The genus is closely related to several other genera including Anemonoides, Anemonastrum, Hepatica, and Pulsatilla. They are native to the temperate and subtropical regions of all continents except Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica. Plants of the genus are commonly called windflowers. Anemone ( / ə ˈ n ɛ m ə n iː/) is a genus of flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae.
