Interesting Notes

The generic name Anemone is an ancient Greek and Latin corruption of the Semitic name for Adonis, from whose blood the red-flowered anemone of the Orient is said to have sprung.

Meadow anemone was first described for science in 1768 by the Swedish father of modern plant nomenclature Carl von Linne (Linnaeus).
