Rue Anemone

This plant's scientific name is Thalictrum thalictroides. Thalictrum is derived from the Greek word "thaliktron" which means "a plant with divided leaves." The leaves of the Rue-anemone look like little mittens. Up until 1951, the Rue-anemone was classified as Anemonella thalictroides. Quite a few scientific articles were written in the early 1900's arguing for or against the changing of it's classification.
