Distribution and habitat Īnemonoides × lipsiensis, center, with its parents, A. Wood sorrel Oxalis acetosella, which grows in similar shaded places, can be readily distinguished by its 3-parted, clover-like leaves and smaller flowers with only white petals and 5 sepals. The yellow wood anemone ( Anemonoides ranunculoides) is slightly smaller, with yellow flowers and usually without basal leaves. In the wild the flowers are usually white but may be pinkish, lilac or blue, and often have a darker tint on the backs of the tepals. Anemone coronaria is a herbaceous perennial tuberous plant growing to 2040 cm (7.915.7 in) tall, rarely to 60 cm (24 in), spreading to 1523 cm (5.99. The flowers are 2 centimetres (0.8 in) diameter, with six or seven (and on rare occasions eight to ten) tepals (petal-like segments) with many stamens. The flowers are solitary, held above the foliage on short stems, with a whorl of three palmate or palmately-lobed leaflike bracts beneath. The plants start blooming in spring, March to May in the British Isles : 28 soon after the foliage emerges from the ground. : 106 They grow from underground root-like stems called rhizomes and die back down by mid summer (summer dormant). The compound basal leaves are palmate or ternate (divided into three lobes). Anemonoides nemorosa is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant less than 30 centimetres (12 in) in height.
