DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANTS 81 
divided in threes. Flower single, large, showy, pale-purplish, borne 
on a peduncle developed before the leaves. Carpels many, with long, 
hairy styles, which in fruit form tails 2 in. long. Prairies and 
bluffs, N. W. 
2. A. caroliniana, Walt. CAROLINA ANEMONE. Stem simple, 
from a roundish tuber, slightly downy, 6-12 in. high, bearing a 
single flower about 1 in. broad. Root-leaves 2-3, long-petioled, com- 
pound in threes, the divisions cut or lobed; stem-leaves sessile, 
compound in threes, the divisions wedge-shaped. Sepals 12-20, 
white; head of fruit becoming oblong; akenes woolly. In open 
woods W.* 
3. A. cylindrica. LONG-FRUITED ANEMONE. Plants about 2 
ft. high, branching, with an involucre of long-petioled, divided and 
cleft leaves, from within which spring several long, naked peduncles. 
Flowers greenish-white. Sepals obtuse. Head of fruit cylindrical. 
composed of very many densely woolly akenes. Dry woods and 
prairies. 
4, A. virginiana, L. Plant hairy, 2-3 ft. high. Peduncles 6-12 
in. long, sometimes forking, the first ones naked, the later ones with 
a little 2-leaved involucre at the middle. Leaves of the involucre 3, 
each 3-parted, the divisions ovate-lanceolate, pointed. Sepals acute. 
Head of fruit ovoid. Woods and meadows. 
5. A. quinquefolia, L. Winp-FLOWER, Woop ANEMONE. Stem 
simple, from a thread-like rootstock; involucre of 3 leaves, each 
petioled, and of 3 leaflets, which are cut, toothed, or parted. Pedun- 
cle 1-flowered. Sepals 4-7, white, often tinged with purple outside. 
Carpels 15 or 20. This species is very nearly related to, but now 
regarded as distinct from, the European A. nemorosa. 
X. HEPATICA, Dill. 
Involucre of 3 small, simple leaves, so close to the flower as 
to look like a calyx. Leaves all radical, 3-lobed, heart-shaped, 
thick, and evergreen, purplish-red beneath. Flowers single, 
on rather slender hairy scapes. 
1. H. triloba, Chaix. Rounp-LoBeEpD Hepatica. Lobes of the 
leaves obtuse or rounded ; those of the involucre obtuse ; sepals 
6-12, varying from blue to white. 
2. H. acutiloba, DC. Suarp-Lopep Hepatica. Closely similar 
to the former, except for the acute lobes of the leaves and tips of 
the involucre. 
[Both species have many local names, such as Liverleaf, Liverwort, 
Noble Liverwort, Spring Beauty. ]
