Pulsatilla has been separated from Anemone by many authors. However, molecular phylogenies show that this genus, along with Barneoudia, Knowltonia, Hepatica and Oreithales , is nested with Anemone . For this reason, Pulsatilla is better treated as a section of Anemone . For the Chinese Pulsatilla species, nine species names are already available in Anemone , and the remaining names of three species and four infraspecific taxa are transferred to Anemone here.
