(A) Wood Anemone; Wind Flower (Anemone quin- 
quefolia). The stem is slender and from 4 to 8 in. 
high. Three leaves radiate from a point about two 
thirds up; each on a long stem and divided into three 
to five, toothed, ovate leaflets. The solitary flower rises 
on a slender peduncle from the junction of these three 
leaves with the stem proper. It has four to seven 
sepals, most often five; white inside and purplish white 
on their outer surface. The flower has an expanse of 
slightly less than one inch, but is rarely seen fully ex¬ 
panded. The Wind Flower is common in woods or 
thickets from Nova Scotia to the Rockies and south¬ 
wards. 
(B) Rue Anemone (Anemonella tlialictroides) has 
four to nine sepals (usually six), numerous orange- 
tipped stamens and a broad stigma. There are several 
flowers on exceedingly slender peduncles, rising from 
the whorl of leaves. The latter are on slender stems, 
have heart-shaped bases and three-lobed ends; rather 
small, pale green above and with a whitish bloom below. 
It is found in the same localities and the same range 
as the last species, with which it associates. , . . « .
