Winter Aconite

Eranthis hyemalis is a flowering plant in the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). It is native to calcareous woodland habitats in regions such as France, Italy, and the Balkans. The plant has been naturalized in various parts of Europe, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The species was formally published in 1807 by Salisb. Taxonomic clarification regarding the type material remains unresolved due to the lack of distinction between two sheets at LINN, as noted in botanical discussions.
