Taxonomic Notes
Varieties: Anemone virginiana Linnaeus var. virginiana.[1] ranges throughout the southeast. Weakley states that a more northern variety, Anemone virginiana Linnaeus var. alba (Oakes) Alph. Wood., "might be expected in n. VA, especially in river scour situations," but the Flora of Virginia does not list var. alba.[2]
