==Description==
[[Image:Anemone (PSF).png|thumb|upright|An illustration of an anemone]]

''Anemone'' are perennials that have basal leaves with long [[petiole (botany)|leaf-stems]] that can be upright or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. The leaf margins are toothed or entire.

[[Flower]]s with 4–27 sepals are produced singly, in [[inflorescence#Determinate|cymes]] of 2–9 flowers, or in [[umbels]], above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like [[bract]]s. Sepals may be any color.  The pistils have one ovule. The flowers have [[nectar]]ies, but [[petal]]s are missing in the majority of species.

The fruits are ovoid to obovoid shaped [[achene]]s that are collected together in a tight cluster, ending variously lengthened stalks; though many species have sessile clusters terminating the stems. The achenes are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them.{{r|fna}}
