"Anemone quinquefolia" is an early-spring flowering plant in the genus "Anemone", native to North America. It is commonly called Wood Anemone, though it is not to be confused with Anemone nemorosa, a European species.

It is a perennial herbaceous plant, growing in early spring to 10-30 cm tall, and dying back down to the root-like rhizomes by mid summer. The rhizomes, that spread just below the earth surface, grow quickly, contributing to its rapid spread in woodland conditions, where it can carpet large areas. The flower is 1-2.5 cm diameter, with five (occasionally four, or six to nine) petal-like segments (actually tepals). The flowers are white, commonly flushed pinkish.

Leaves are deeply lobed with toothed margins.

There are three varieties.
* "Anemone quinquefolia" var. "bifolia" that grows in the Midwest. [ [http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=ANQU PLANTS Profile for Anemone quinquefolia (wood anemone) | USDA PLANTS ] ]
* "Anemone quinquefolia" var. "quinquefolia" that grows over the entire species range.
* "Anemone quinquefolia" var. "minima" that grows in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

"Anemone quinquefolia" is part of a species complex that includes "A. grayi", "A. lancifolia", "A. lyalliaa", "A. oregana" and "A. piperi". [cite book
