Anemonastrum obtusilobum
species of plant
Anemonastrum obtusilobum (syn. Anemone obtusiloba), the round-leaved anemone, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to mountainous regions of Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal and western China (Tibet), and also cultivated as an ornamental.
It is a low-growing, clump forming perennial plant to 15 cm (6 in), with rounded hairy leaves and variable flowers of white, blue or occasionally yellow. The flowers consist of 4-7 rounded petals surrounding a prominent yellow central boss, and appear in spring to early summer. The plant is reasonably hardy, but requires a sheltered spot in full sun or partial shade. It is suitable as an underplanting for deciduous trees or shrubs.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Anemonastrum obtusilobum” as species of plant. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of plant. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 16, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q89082962. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
