Ranunculaceae
Ranunculaceae (buttercup or crowfoot family; Latin "little frog", from "frog") is a family of over 2,000 known species of flowering plants in 43 genera, distributed worldwide. The largest genera are '' Ranunculus'' (600 species), '' Delphinium'' (365), '' Thalictrum'' (330), '' Clematis'' (325), and '' Aconitum'' (300). Description Ranunculaceae are mostly herbaceous annuals or perennials, but some are woody climbers (such as '' Clematis'') or shrubs (e.g. '' Xanthorhiza''). Most members of the family have bisexual flowers which can be showy or inconspicuous. Flowers are solitary, but are also found aggregated in cymes, panicles, or spikes. The flowers are usually radially symmetrical but are also found to be bilaterally symmetrical in the genera '' Aconitum'' and '' Delphinium''. The sepals, petals, stamens and carpels are all generally free (not fused), the outer flower segments typically number four or five. The outer stamens may be modified to produce only nectar ...

Oskar Eberhard Ulbrich
Oskar Eberhard Ulbrich (17 September 1879 – 4 November 1952) was a German botanist and mycologist. Ulbrich was born in Berlin. He studied natural sciences at the University of Berlin, where his instructors included Adolf Engler (1844–1930) and Simon Schwendener (1829–1919). In 1926 he became a curator and professor at the Botanical Museum in Berlin, where in 1938 he was appointed director of the ''Hauptpilzstelle''. Known for his intrafamilial investigations of the botanical families Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Caryophyllaceae, in 1934 he subdivided Chenopodiaceae into eight subfamilies; Salicornioideae, Polycnemoideae, Chenopodioideae, Salsoloideae, et al. In 1911 he introduced usage of a color scheme to indicate geographical regions on herbarium specimens and fascicles. The plant genus ''Ulbrichia'' from the family Malvaceae was named after him by Ignatz Urban (1848–1931). Selected publications * ''Die höheren Pilze: Basidiomycetes'', third edition 1928 (with ...

Anemone
''Anemone'' () is a genus of flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Plants of the genus are commonly called windflowers. They are native to the temperate and subtropical regions of all continents except Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica. The genus is closely related to several other genera including '' Anemonoides'', '' Anemonastrum'', ''Hepatica'', and '' Pulsatilla''. Some botanists include these genera within ''Anemone''. Description ''Anemone'' are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. The leaf margins are toothed or entire. Flowers with 4–27 sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2–9 flowers, or in umbels, above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Sepals may be any color. The pistils have one ovule. The flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the majority of species. The fruits are ovoid to obovo ...
