Anemone Honorine Jobert

Commonly known as the Chinese anemone or Japanese anemone, thimble-weed, or windflower.

The species was first named and described in Flora Japonica (1784), by Carl Thunberg. Thunberg had collected dried specimens while working as a doctor for the Dutch East Indies Company.

In 1844, Robert Fortune brought the plant to England from China, where he found it often planted about graves
