Anemonoides sylvestris (syn. Anemone sylvestris), known as snowdrop anemone or snowdrop windflower, is a perennial plant flowering in spring, native to meadows and dry deciduous woodlands of central and western Europe and temperate Asia.[1][2] It forms spreading patches, sometimes aggressively spreading.[2]
Another name is wood anemone,[citation needed] but this more commonly refers to the European A. nemorosa or the North American A. quinquefolia.
