Three-leaved anemone
Definition
A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the family Riverunculaceae, native to deciduous forests in the mountainous regions of Southern and Central Europe (Alps, Apennines, Balkans). It is closely related to and visually resembles the common wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa) but is distinguished by its thicker, whitish rhizome, trifoliate cauline leaves with regular and symmetrically toothed segments, and solitary white flowers whose anthers are cream-white rather than yellow.
