|discussion=<p><i>Anemone patens </i>var.<i> multifida</i> has frequently been recognized as a subspecies of <i>A. patens</i>. Although <i>A. patens</i> var. wolfgangiana has been used by some authors, <i>A. patens </i>var.<i> multifida</i> has priority.</p><!--
--><p>Pasqueflower (as <i>Anemone patens</i> var. wolfgangiana) is the floral emblem of Manitoba and (as Pulsatilla hirsutissima) the state flower of South Dakota.</p><!--
--><p>Native Americans used fresh leaves of <i>Anemone patens </i>var.<i> multifida</i> medicinally to treat rheumatism and neuralgia; crushed leaves for poultices; pulverized leaves to smell to alleviate headaches; and made decoctions from roots to treat lung problems (D. E. Moerman 1986).</p><!--
--><p>The names Pulsatilla hirsutissima (Pursh) Britton and <i>P. ludoviciana</i> A. Heller are illegitimate.</p>
