Th e results of the study of comparative morphology and taxonomy of ten species of the genus Anemone L. in the fl ora of the Balkan peninsula are presented. Th ese ten species belong to fi ve sections: A. coronaria L. and A. hortensis L. to sect. Anemone; A. sylvestris L. and A. baldensis L. to sect. Eriocephalus Hook. f. and Th oms.; A. nemorosa L., A. ranunculoides L. and A. trifolia L. to sect. Anemonanthea DC.; A. apennina L. and A. blanda Schott. and Kotschy to sect. Tuberosa (Ulbr.) Juz. and A. narcissifl ora L. to sect. Omalocarpus DC. Special attention was paid to new and additional essential morphological characters: shape of fruiting heads, fruits and carpels (including styles and stigmas), and stamens (peculiarities of fi laments and anthers), anastomosing veins on tepals, shape of caudices or rhizomes, monopodial or sympodial stems, involucral leaves (similar or dissimilar to basal leaves). In addition, some characters which were previously overlooked are also presented: dimorphic perianth in A. nemorosa, A.ranunculoides, A. apennina and A. blanda; stipule-like appendages at the base of basal leaf petioles in all species of the sections Anemone and Tuberosa; stolon-like ephemeric rhizomes in A. coronaria and fi nally seasonally dimorphic basal leaves in A. hortensis but also hypogeal germination and developing of basal leaves aft er anthesis in all species of the section Anemonanthea in contrast to species of other sections, caudices and monopodial scapes in A. baldensis from sect. Eriocephalus, monopodial scapes but short vertical rhizomes in A. narcissifl ora (and other species of sect. Omalocarpus).
