Perennial. Rhizome elongate, rather slender. Shoot with a few scattered short hairs, about 
15 — 30 cm. high. Ground-leaves 1 — 2, appearing before the flowers, not sheathed at the base ; petioles 
long ; laminae biternate ; slightly stalked ; segments cuneate below, 3-lobed above, lobes with 2 — 5 
acute teeth. Peduncles arising at some distance from the leaf. Bracts 3, leaf-like, sheathed at the base ; 
each markedly stalked ; segments, 3 — 5, cuneate below, acutely but irregularly toothed above. Pedicels 
rather long, bending over in fruit. Flowers about 3 — 4 cm. in diameter; mid-April to June. Sepals 
usually white, often more or less tinged with purple, especially on the outside, rarely purple ; segments 
5 — 9, usually 6, elliptical, glabrous. Carpels pubescent. Achenes beaked, pubescent, beak rather long. 
The double-flowered form occurs occasionally. Various colour-forms are also known.
