About Enemion occidentale (Hook. & Arn.) J.R.Drumm. & Hutch.

Enemion occidentale (Hook. & Arn.) J.R.Drumm. & Hutch., also known by the synonym Isopyrum occidentale, is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family. Its common name is western false rue anemone. This plant occurs in California, and is rarely found in Oregon. It grows in forest, woodland, and chaparral habitats across many of the region's mountain ranges. It is a small perennial herb that produces one or more erect, unbranched stems that reach a maximum height of around 25 centimeters. Leaves grow toward the top of the smooth, bare stems. Each green, cloverlike leaf is typically divided into three irregular lobes. The plant produces solitary, small flowers that have white to very light lavender petal-like sepals, and no true petals. The center of the flower holds white stamens with yellow anthers, plus white styles with yellow stigmas.
