Mountain Thimbleweed

Anemonoides lancifolia (formerly known as Anemone lancifolia), the lanceleaf anemone or mountain thimbleweed, is an herbaceous plant species in the family Ranunculaceae. The genus occurs in the Southeastern United States. Plants grow 20 to 30 cm (7.9 to 11.8 in) tall, growing from a horizontally-orientated rhizome, flowering mid-spring to early summer. The flowers have white sepals that are 12–20 mm long. This species much resembles Anemonoides quinquefolia, of which it was formerly considered a subspecies, except that it is larger growing.
