Anemone reddeana,
a so-called spring ephemeral, grows to 15-20cm in height and is
found in deciduous forests, their edges, or grasslands, with
rhizomes that crawl out sideways. Radical leaves are of biternately
compound, and the leaflets are cleft more deeply afresh. On-stem
leaves are in the whorl of 3 leaflets, each serrated at the top, of
soft texture, 2-3cm long, and drooping. Flowers, consisting of
petal-looking sepals, are 3-4cm in diameter; peduncles bear a single
bloom on each of them. The sepals number 8-13 in all. Bloom time:
March-May. |
