Anemone (/əˈnɛmən/) is a genus of flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Plants of the genus are commonly called windflowers.[2] They are native to the temperate and subtropical regions of all regions except Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and the Middle East.[1] The genus is closely related to several other genera including Anemonoides, Anemonastrum, Hepatica, and Pulsatilla. Some botanists include these genera within Anemone.[3][4]
