Canadian Anemone (Anemonidium canadense)
Description
The Canada anemone has shoots with deeply divided and toothed basal leaves on 8-22 cm (3 1-4-8 3-4 inches). They grow from ascending caudices on long, thin rhizomes. The shoots are 20-80 cm (8-31 inches) tall, and leaves are 4-10 cm (1 1-2-4 inches) by 5-15 cm (2-6 inches).Flowers with about 5 white, petal-like sepals and 80-100 yellow stamens bloom from late spring to summer on stems above a cluster of leaves. The sepals are obovate (with the base slightly tapered) and 10-20 mm (1-2-3-4 inch) by 5-15 mm (1-4-5-8 inch).When they are pollinated, the green pistils in the middle of the flower become a rounded to slightly lengthened seed head. The seeds are achenes, with an almost round body and a beak.
