Eriocapitella tomentosa, a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, is native to Asia. [1] The specific epithet tomentosa means "thickly matted with hairs, tomentum (padding)". [2] In Chinese, a common name is da huo cao (大火草), [3] which means "big fire grass" or "great fireweed". [4]
Eriocapitella tomentosa was described by Maarten J. M. Christenhusz and James W. Byng in 2018. [5] Like other members of genus Eriocapitella, E. tomentosa was formerly a member of genus Anemone. In particular, the basionym Anemone japonica var. tomentosa Maxim. and the synonym Anemone tomentosa (Maxim.) C.Pei were described in 1889 and 1933, respectively. [6] [7]
Eriocapitella tomentosa is often confused with E. vitifolia. Indeed, the former was thought to be a variety of the latter for over 100 years. Specifically, the names Anemone vitifolia var. tomentosa (Maxim.) Finet & Gagnep. and Eriocapitella vitifolia var. tomentosa (Maxim.) Nakai, both of which are synonyms of Anemone tomentosa, were described in 1904 and 1941, respectively. [8]
Eriocapitella tomentosa along with four other taxa ( E. hupehensis, E. japonica, E. vitifolia, and E. × hybrida) are known as fall-blooming anemones. [9] In its native habitat, E. tomentosa flowers from July to October. [3]
