It is recorded of this species of Anemone, that it 
was introduced into England by the Earl of Bute. 
It has a wide geographical range, being common 
on the high mountains of the South of Europe, as 
well as in some parts of Siberia. It is very rarely 
met with even in the best collections, although a 
completely hardy plant; and if not possessing 
gaiety of colour, it has novelty of character, espe- 
cially in the genus to which it belongs. 
The Anemone narcissiflora is usually kept in 
pots amongst the Alpines, but it cannot be much in- 
creased by division, therefore it becomes the more 
requisite to plant it in the open ground, where it 
will flower in great perfection, and produce seeds. 
To assist this process it is thought necessary to 
fertilize the flowers : the position of its parts of 
fructification would not indicate the necessity of 
this, but it may, perhaps, be required from the 
imperfect opening of the anthers. It should have 
a rather damp situation, and grows strongest when 
planted in peat and loam.
