''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 are bowl-shaped with a rosette of petals in the center, and are downward facing. The flowers are held well above the foliage; although not a small plant, the overall impression is one of daintiness and airiness. When in full bloom, the flowers resemble small lotuses, giving rise to its Japanese name of . The genus ''Kirengeshoma'' in turn is named after it. Native to Japan's colder temperate areas (southern Tōhoku to Kinki), ''Anemonopsis'' is frost-hardy at least to zone 4. It is a true woodland plant and cannot tolerate full sun without the leaves scorching, except perhaps in very cool, damp climates. It must also be protected from drying winds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anemonopsis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
