- Liverleaf — A scientific synonymous name for Hepatica nobilis, a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to shaded forests in temperate regions of Europe and Asia. It is easily recognized by its winter-persistent basal leaves divided into three rounded lobes (resembling the shape of a liver) and by its early, solitary flowers of intense azure-blue, pink, or white, heralding the arrival of spring.
