"Anemone lancifolia" is an herbaceous plant species in the genus "Anemone" and family Ranunculaceae. Plants grow 20 to 30 cm tall, growing from a horizontally orientated rhizome, flowering mid spring to early summer. The flowers have white sepals that are 12-20 mm long. This species much resembles "Anemone quinquefolia" except that it is larger growing. After flowering fruits called "achene"s are formed in a small cluster, each achene is 3.5-5 mm long, lacks wings and has a straight or partly curved beak that is 1-1.5 mm long.

Native from the Eastern USA in the states of North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. "Anemone lancifolia" is normally found growing in rich damp soils in woods. [cite book
