ANEMONELLA THALICTRIFOLIA. 
A. Wolfgangiana is A. Nuttaliana, an American form or synonym 
of A. montana. 
A. zephyra, from the central Rockies, in sub-alpine woods, should 
be a lovely thing, being described as a large-flowered, lemon-coloured 
version of A. narcissiflora.

Any or all of these hybrids may from time to time be offered ; 
meanwhile there would be few more interesting tasks than to raise 
the best of them over again in gardens. 
Anemonella thalictrifolia was long Inown as Anemone 
thalictroeides, or Thalictrum anemonoeides. It is, none the less, a very 
distinct little American woodland beauty, frail and early, like a single- 
flowered Isopyrum with one pearly and comely blossom. 
Anemonopsis macrophylla is a most stately Japanese plant, 
akin to Ranunculus and Aquilegia. From a fleshy creeping stock it 
sends up glossy foliage, suggesting that of Cimicifuga or Actaea, but 
darker and thicker and more lucent. The hanging flowers are 
carried in summer after the style of Anemone japonica, and their 
effect is rather that of big belated Columbines, spurless and very waxy, 
white-centred, and of a rich lavender-blue. Anemonopsis is not 
always easy to deal with, but succeeds best in deep woodland soil, 
cool and rich, in a warm and sheltered corner. In such a place 
it may be remembered at Edge in Cheshire, growing stalwartly,
