Anemone nemorosaWood Anemone, Busch-WindrschenSlo.: podlesna vetrnicaDat.: May 07. 2013Lat.: 46.27367 Long.: 13.47982Code: Bot_710/2013_IMG3155Habitat: Alpine pasture, calcareous ground, partly stony grassland, almost flat terrain on top of rounded mountain ridge; open, humid, windswept place, full sun; exposed to direct rain; elevation 1.380 m (4.500 feet), average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Breginjski Stol ridge, near Planina Boca, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: This early spring flower is very common in Slovenia. On some places in light woods it reaches almost 100% ground coverage with thousands and thousands of flowers, a really wonderful display after winter. One can find it from low level plains up to almost subalpine elevations; however it always requires quite moist ground. Anemone nemorosa grows in Europe only. Beautiful but poisonous plant!Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K. Oswald, Exkursionsflora Oesterreich Liechtenstein, Suedtirol, LO Landesmuseen, Linz, Austria (2005), p 310.(2) A.

2010.04.07 Austria, Lower Austria, district Baden (270 m AMSL).Both flowering in (march) april, usually A. nemorosa a week or two earlier than A. ranunculoides - however, this is difficult to tell because they rarely grow in the same habitat, as is the case here: A. nemorosa prefers more hilly area while A. ranunculoides is dominating in the woodlands of the plains.German names: Gelbes Windrschen, Buschwindrschen

2011-04-16 Lower Austria, district Wien-Umgebung (near road; 318 msm Quadrant 7862/1).German name: Gelb-WindrschenOn this place A. ranunculoides had two or three flowers on each stem - this goes for the whole population in this place; more typical would be one or two at maximum (e. g. in Danube alluvial forests; there, most only have one flower, and while you find plenty which have two one of them usually is smaller than the other one).

2010.03.27 Austria, Vienna XXII. district (155 m AMSL).Flowering in march/april.Very common.German name: Gelb-Windrschen

2013-03-19 Vienna, district XXII., Lobau - Danube National ParkGerman name: Schneeglckerl + Bltter des Gelb-WindrschensWhile snowdrops are still flowering leaves of Anemone ranunculoides already are growing to noticeable sizes; they will flower within a week at the latest, despite the fact that you couldn't even make out flowering buds yet, at this stage of development.

1975, 25. Dez. BlumenDas Gelbe Windrschen (Anemone ranunculoides) ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Hahnenfugewchse (Ranunculaceae). Das Artepitheton kommt vom lateinischen Wort ranunculus =Hahnenfu und bezieht sich auf die hahnenfuhnlichen Blten. Das gelbe Windrschen kommt vor allem in basenreichen Laubwldern vor. Es ist allgemein seltener zu finden als das nahe verwandte Buschwindrschen, wchst dann aber gesellig.BeschreibungDie mehrjhrige krautige Pflanze bildet einen 10 bis 30 Zentimeter hohen, aufrechten Bltenstngel. Zur Bltezeit zwischen Mrz/April und Mai fehlen grundstndige Bltter. Jedoch sitzen am Stngel in einem Quirl (Wirtel) drei kurz- oder ungestielte, jeweils dreiteilig eingeschnittene, gezhnte Hochbltter. Whrend das Buschwindrschen nur eine Blte (selten zwei) pro Pflanze entwickelt, werden beim Gelben Windrschen ein bis drei (meist zwei) Blten pro Pflanze gebildet. Die Blte hat fnf gelbe Perigonbltter und zahlreiche Staubbltter.Durch das Angebot von Lock- und Futterstoffen in einem nhrstoffreichen Anhngsel der Frchte, dem Elaiosom, werden Ameisen angelockt, die die Samen verschleppen und dadurch verbreiten. Diese Form der Verbreitung heit Myrmecochorie.
