Anemonastrum obtusilobum (syn. Anemone obtusiloba), the round-leaved anemone, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to mountainous regions of Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal and western China (Tibet),[2][3][4] and also cultivated as an ornamental.[5]

It is a low-growing, clump forming perennial plant to 15 cm (6 in), with rounded hairy leaves and variable flowers of white, blue or occasionally yellow. The flowers consist of 4-7 rounded petals surrounding a prominent yellow central boss, and appear in spring to early summer. The plant is reasonably hardy, but requires a sheltered spot in full sun or partial shade. It is suitable as an underplanting for deciduous trees or shrubs.[2]
