A European plant commonly called snowdrop anemone because of the droop- 

 ing habit of the flowers before fully expanding, giving it a certain resemblance to 

 the snowdrop {Galanthus nivalis). The white flowers, IJ inches in diameter, are 

 borne on long peduncles which arise singly from an involucre of leaves. These 

 leaves are ternate or quinate with deeply toothed leaflets and are hairy on the 

 undersurface. (Adapted from The Garden, vol. 65, p. 73.)
