Eriocapitella vitifolia, a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, is native to Asia.[1] The specific epithet vitifolia means "vine-leaved, with leaves resembling those of Vitis",[2] the genus of grapevines, and so the plant is commonly called the grape-leaved anemone or grape-leaved windflower. In Chinese, a common name is ye mian hua,[3] which means "wild cotton".[4]

Taxonomy

Eriocapitella vitifolia was described by Takenoshin Nakai in 1941.[5] Like other members of genus Eriocapitella, E. vitifolia was formerly a member of genus Anemone. The basionym Anemone vitifolia Buch.-Ham. ex DC. was described in 1817.[6]

Along with E. japonica, E. vitifolia is a parent of the hybrid E. × hybrida.[7]

Ecology

Eriocapitella vitifolia along with four other taxa (E. hupehensis, E. japonica, E. tomentosa, and E. × hybrida) are known as fall-blooming anemones.[8] In its native habitat, E. vitifolia flowers from July to October.[3]
