Eriocapitella vitifolia

Eriocapitella vitifolia, a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, is native to Asia. The specific epithet vitifolia means "vine-leaved, with leaves resembling those of Vitis", 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, which means "wild cotton".

Taxonomy

Eriocapitella vitifolia was described by Takenoshin Nakai in 1941. Like other members of genus Eriocapitella, E.&nbsp;vitifolia was formerly a member of genus Anemone. The basionym Anemone vitifolia <small>Buch.-Ham. ex DC.</small> was described in 1817.

Along with E.&nbsp;japonica, E.&nbsp;vitifolia is a parent of the hybrid E.&nbsp;×&nbsp;hybrida.

Ecology

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