Anemone nikoensis
Anemone nikoensis Ranunculaceae
Perennial herbs (grow for several years from their same root system) found in wet areas including bright forest edges, grasslands along streamside in mountains. The Japanese name Ichirin-so literally meaning one flower on a stem was named because it only blooms one large flower on the top of a stem. In rare cases, bloom two flowers that may look like anemone flaccid. The point to identify this plant is leaves are finely lobed and flowers are large. Flowers are 4 cm in diameter and very appealing with five to six sepals like petals. Most of them are white but some are light purple on the back, hence another name Ura-beni-ichige literally meaning one flower with red on the back. Three leaves on long petioles grow from the middle of stems. Leaves are deeply lobed like serrated edge.
