ANEMONE TRIFOLIA L. Sp. Pl. 540. 1753.
While walking along a small stream just west of the Falls of the Yadkin river, last spring I was astonished to find fine plants of Anemone frifolia. The species has only been known to exist in America on the higher parts of the Alleghanies, chiefly in the Southern States, but here, in the central part of North Carolina at an elevation of only 200-300 feet above the level of the sea, the species appears as typical as anywhere.
