Vegetative characteristics
The autumn anemone grows as a perennial herbaceous plant . As a perennial organ, it forms branched, upright, woody, short tubers with a length of 8 to 12 cm and a diameter of 0.5 to 0.7 cm.
Three to five intensely hairy leaves are formed on each plant specimen , which are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The leaf stalks are 5 to 35 cm long. The leaf blade is pinnate in three parts. The egg-shaped leaflets are each 2 to 5 cm long stalked, the middle is 4 to 10 cm long and 3 to 10 cm wide, the lateral ones are smaller.
Generative characteristics
The somewhat hairy inflorescence stem usually reaches a height of 30 to 100, rarely up to 120 cm. The zymous inflorescence has two or three branches, contains three bracts and many flowers. The foliage-like bracts are stalked 2 to 3 cm long, also in three parts and 3 to 7 cm in size. The hairy flower stalks are 3 to 10 cm long and the lateral ones stand over small paired bracts.
The hermaphroditic flowers are radial symmetry . The natural forms and easy flowering cultivars are five bloom cladding available in double flowered varieties it can be up to twenty; they are white to pink and purple to red, obovate, 2 to 3 cm long and 1.3 to 2 cm wide. The many stamens are 4 to 6 mm long with thin stamens. The more than 180 free carpels are about 1.5 mm long. The straight stylus is short. The flowering period lasts around July to October.
The egg-shaped achenes are about 2 mm long and 1 mm wide; it is woolly hairy with 3 to 4 mm long hairs.
The chromosome number for both varieties is 2n = 16.
Occurrence
Anemone hupehensis var. Hupehensis grows naturally in thickets, grassy slopes and river banks in hilly areas in the amount ranging from 400 to 2,600 meters in Taiwan and the Chinese provinces of northern Guangdong , northern Guangxi , Guizhou , western Hubei , Jiangxi , southern Shaanxi , Sichuan , Yunnan and eastern Zhejiang ( Tiantai Shan ). Many varieties are cultivated as ornamental plants and tend to grow wild.
Systematics
The first description under the name Anemone japonica var. Hupehensis was made in 1908 by Victor Lemoine in V. Lemoine & Fils Catalog et prix courant , 170, 42, but in 1910 the same author published in V. Lemoine & Fils Catalog et prix courant , 176 , 40 the botanical name that is valid today, Anemone hupehensis .
Two varieties are currently valid:
- Anemone hupehensis (Lemoine) Lemoine var. Hupehensis : It is native to Taiwan and China.
- Anemone hupehensis var. Japonica (Thunb.) Bowles & Stearn : It is native to Japan and China. The Chinese occurrences, even before the discovery of this variety by Europeans, could be feral ornamental plants.
There are many forms of culture , often called Anemone hupehensis are called, but they are better Anemone - hybrids called, because there are probably also involved other types of their breeding.
Care as an ornamental plant
The location can be sunny, partially shaded to shady. Fresh soil rich in humus is recommended. If the location is good, they tend to run wild.
It is increased in spring by division (separation of the runners) or by root cuttings in late autumn. Older plants are difficult to transplant because of the tap roots.
Propagation from seeds is not common, but possible. The small seeds are placed on moist soil and left to rest for the winter (cold germs). The seedlings will appear next spring.
