Eriocapitella rupicola, a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, is native to Asia.[1] The specific epithet rupicola means "growing on rocks".[2] In Chinese, the plant is called yánshēng yínliánhuā (岩生銀蓮花),[3] which means "rock anemone".[4]
Eriocapitella rupicola was described by Maarten J. M. Christenhusz and James W. Byng in 2018.[5] Like other members of genus Eriocapitella, E. rupicola was formerly a member of genus Anemone. The basionym Anemone rupicola Cambess. was described in 1844.[6]
Cultivation
The cultivar Eriocapitella rupicola 'Wild Swan' won the Plant of the Year Award at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2011.[7] It is said to be a cross between E. rupicola and E. hupehensis.
