Hepatica americana
Found in wooded areas, often upslope in drier, more acidic and thinner soils. White, pink and blue forms can be found. Taxonomically close to European species, and many of the deeply colored forms in cultivation are from European stock. The scientific name keeps changing - FLNPS tries to use the NYFA Atlas taxonomy.
