Hepatica acutiloba

Description

Hepatica acutiloba, or Sharp-Lobed Hepatica, is an attractive wildflower found growing in open woods in early to mid-spring. The flowers are white, purple-blue, or pink in color with a round shape, and its leaves are distinctive and mottled, turning crimson in the fall. The appearance of the leaves resulted in another common name “Liverleaf” as they are shaped like the human liver.

Hepatica acutiloba is also known as Anemone acutiloba.
