By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-06-11. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-08.

In 1665, John Rea, 'florist', i.e. expert in flowering plants, noted that a common species/variety of anemone which he referred to as Anemone latifolia vulgaris maxima versicolor was "by many Gentlewomen, and other as ignorant, called Robin Hood, Scarlet and John" (see Allusions section below.) This species or variety must currently be known under another Latin name, for a Google search for the exact form cited by John Rea yields only historical references. According to John H. Harvey Anemone latifolia should be identified with Anemone hortensis L or Anemone pavonina Lam.[1] The folk name 'Robin Hood, Scarlet and John' is obsolete.[2]
