1. ANEMONEnoun

   The wind flower.

   Etymology: ἀνεμώνη.

   Upon the top of its single stalk, surrounded by a leaf, is produced one naked flower, of many petals, with many stamina in the center; the seeds are collected into an oblong head, and surrounded with a copious down. The principal colours in anemonies, are white, red, blue, and purple sometimes curiously intermixed. Philip Miller.

   Wind flowers are distinguished into those with broad and hard leaves, and those with narrow and soft ones; of both which sorts there are great variety of colours, some being double, and others single flowered. The broad leaved anemony roots should be planted about the end of September, and the small eminences which put forth the leaves set uppermost. These with small leaves must be set after the same manner, but not put into the ground till the end of October. John Mortimer, Art of Husbandry.

   From the soft wing of vernal breezes shed,
   Anemonies, auriculas, enrich’d
   With shining meal o’er all their velvet leaves. James Thomson.
