'''''Enemion''''' ('''false rue-anemone''') are [spring ephemerals](/source/ephemeral_plant) with white flowers, branching stems, and finely divided leaves in the [buttercup family](/source/Ranunculaceae). One species, ''[Enemion biternatum](/source/Enemion_biternatum)'', is native to eastern and central [North America](/source/North_America), while ''[Enemion occidentale](/source/Enemion_occidentale)'', ''[stipitatum](/source/Enemion_stipitatum)'', ''hallii'', and ''savilei'' are native to the [West Coast of the United States](/source/West_Coast_of_the_United_States) and [Canada](/source/British_Columbia_Coast).<!-- This is shown by the USDA range maps in the Subordinate taxa tab. --> The genus ''[Isopyrum](/source/Isopyrum)'' is similar, and has species native to Europe and Asia.

''Enemion'' comes from [Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek) {{lang|grc|ἠνέμιον}} (''ēnémion''), another word for {{lang|grc|ἀνεμώνη}} "[anemone](/source/anemone)".<ref>{{LSJ|h)ne/mion|ἠνέμιον|ref}}</ref><!-- Don't have a source saying the genus name comes from this Greek word, but it's pretty clear. -->
