Anemonopsis [SEP] parent taxon
Anemonopsis
Anemonopsis, the false anemone, is a monotypic genus in the family Ranunculaceae, containing only the species Anemonopsis macrophylla, endemic to Japan's main island of Honshu. 
The generic name "Anemonopsis" refers to it being "Anemone"-like (""), and its specific epithet "macrophylla" means "large-leaved".
Description.
"Anemonopsis" is a herbaceous perennial growing approximately 75 cm high, with pale lavender flowers in late summer, each about 2 cm in diameter. The flowers
form only cotyledons in their first season; the first true leaves form the year after germination. Seedlings are slow to reach maturity, and flower in about 5 years. They may be more easily handled by growing in pots until they reach a size suitable for planting out.
No particular treatment of seed is necessary other than exposure to ordinary winter chilling.
"Anemonopsis" can also be propagated by division.
