"Anemone acutiloba" (Sharp-lobed hepatica) was placed in the genus "Hepatica" but has been moved to "Anemone". This is an attractive flowering, clump forming herbaceous plant species in the family Ranunculaceae. Plants grow 5 to 19 cm tall, flowering early to mid spring. The flowers are greenish-white, white, purple or pinkish in color, with a rounded shape. After flowering the fruits are produced in small, rounded columned heads, on pedicels 1 to 4 mm long. When the fruits, called achenes, are ripe they are ovoid in shape, 3.5 -4.7 mm long and 1.3-1.9 mm wide, slightly winged and tend to lack a beak."Anemone acutiloba" is native to central eastern North America were it can be found growing in deciduous open woods, most often in calcareous soils.
