Syndesmon (Greek, bound together, because the plant unites characters of Thalictrum and Anemone). Ranunculaceae. Rue Anemone. Dainty perennial herb grown in wild borders for its carpet of beautiful leaves and attractive spring flowers. Glabrous, from a cluster of tuberous roots: basal lvs. 2-3-ternately compound: involucre similar but sessile, the lfts. being stalked: fls. white or pink, in an umbel; pedicels slender; sepals thin, 5-10, petal-like; petals none; stigma sessile, truncate: achenes, terete, deeply grooved.—A monotypic genus of E. N. Amer. Under the International Rules, Anemonella is the tenable name (Anemonella thalictroides). Syndesmon was used earlier (1832 as against 1839), but in such a way as not to constitute publication as defined by those Rules, although it is tenable under the American Code. The plant should have been treated under Anemonella in this work. The plants should be grown in partial shade. The soil should be moist and light or sandy. They should be left undisturbed for years. They will then form a carpet of great beauty. Propagation is by division of roots in spring or fall, but such division greatly weakens them and the plants for propagation should be taken from the edges of the beds. CH
