The ranunculaceae (Ranunculaceae), of which the palmate anemone is a part, are a family of tricolpate plants with 58 genera and about 1750 species. Most are herbs, but some are woody shrubs or vines. Ranuncle plants occur all over the world but have their center of gravity in temperate and cold areas. In Sweden, there are 17 genera and over 50 species, all non-native, but wild species. Many species are poisonous and some of the active substances have been used in medicine. A large number are grown as ornamental plants.
The family includes species such as white anemone (Anemone nemorosa), blue anemone (Anemone hepatica), butter balls (Trollius europaeus), Aquila (Aquilegia vulgaris), cabbage (Caltha palustris), chivalrous spore (Consolida regalis), spring adonis ( Adonis vernalis), muschio vernalis) and isranuncle (Ranunculus glacialis), the highest-growing vascular plant in Sweden.
In Italy there are specimens of these plants only in Sicily and Sardinia, often at over 500 meters above sea level.
