Anemone nemorosa. 



Wood Anemone, The wood anemone 

 orWiadflower. peally belongs in 



Anemone nemorosa. . t t t f t 



the halt-lit woods 

 of spring, when the foliage is un- 

 developed and its shade is thin and 

 spotty ; but I have often found the 



the White Mountain 

 woods. The green, 

 three-sided seed pod 

 looks like a beechnut. 

 Uvularia perfoliata 

 is a very near rela- 

 tion to the flower 

 under consideration, 

 with differences which 

 Prof. Goodale fully 

 explains in his book 

 entitled Wild Flowers 

 of America. It is 

 sufiicient here to say 

 that in this variety 

 the stem seems to 

 pass through the base 

 of each one of the 

 leaves. The bellwort 

 flowers in April and 

 May.
