Anemone canadensis (Canada anemone, round-headed anemone, meadow anemone, crowfoot) is a herbaceous perennial native to moist meadows, thickets, stream banks, and lake shores in North America, spreading rapidly by underground rhizomes, valued for its white flowers.

 

In former times it was used medically by North American Indigenous peoples as an astringent and as a styptic for wounds, sores, nosebleeds, and as an eyewash. The root was respected by Plains tribes and used for many ailments. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemone_canadensis
