Anemone thalictroides. Sp. PL 2. p. 1284. Piirsh. 2. p. 389. 
Root tuberous, perennial. Leaves all radical on long footsalks. Scape 
6—1 2 inches high, terminating in a small umbel surrounded by an invo- 
lucrum of 6 or 7 pedicellate leaves. Leaflets of the involucrum resem- 
bling exactly those from the root. Umbels 3 — 6 flowered. Peduncles 
pcarcely exceeding an inch in length. Petals generally 6, lanceolate, white. 
Seeds deeply striate. 
This plant appears to connect the genus Anemone with that of the Tha- 
lictrum. . It resembles the Anemone in its inflorescence and habit. The 
Thalictmm in its foliage and seed. Its place in the system, therefore has 
often been changed. I have followed Michaux and De Candolle in uniting 
it with the Thalictrum. 
Grows in the Mountains of Carolina. 
Flowers March-May.
