About Eriocapitella vitifolia (Buch.-Ham. ex DC.) Nakai

Eriocapitella vitifolia is a species of flowering plant belonging to the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, and it is native to Asia. Its specific epithet vitifolia translates to "vine-leaved", referring to leaves that resemble those of Vitis, the grapevine genus. For this reason, the plant is commonly known as the grape-leaved anemone or grape-leaved windflower. In Chinese, one common name for the species is ye mian hua, which means "wild cotton". Eriocapitella vitifolia, along with four other related taxa: E. hupehensis, E. japonica, E. tomentosa, and E. × hybrida, are collectively referred to as fall-blooming anemones. In the species' native habitat, E. vitifolia blooms from July to October.
