Anemone (Ranunculaceae). This genus divides into two groups. The .first group are early spring bloomers with hairless seed coats, multicycle germination patterns, and intolerance of OS. The second group are taller and bloom in summer and fall, the seed is embedded in cotton in a spherical cluster, and germination is largely D-70 with curious differences between DS seed and fresh seed. A. demissa germ. 2/5 in 3-5 w at 70.
