Eranthis (Greek, er. spring, and anthos, a flower; from the early opening of the flowers). Ranunculaceae. Winter Aconite. Low perennial herbs, grown in open flower-beds because of the very early show of bright flowers; very desirable.

Rootstock tuberous: basal lvs. palmately dissected, 1 st.-lf. sessile or amplexicaul just beneath the large yellow fl.: sepals 5-8, petal-like; petals small, 2-lipped nectaries; stamens numerous: carpels few, stalked, many-ovuled, becoming follicles.—About 7 species, natives of Eu. and Asia. The earliest generic name is Cammarum which was given in Hill's British Herbal, p. 47, pl. 7 (1756), but it is not accepted by the "nomina conservanda" of the Vienna code.

Winter aconites are very hardy, and at home in half-shady places, among shrubs or in the border.

Propagated by division of roots. The place in which the tubers are planted should be marked during the summer, when the foliage is dead.
