Far Reaches plant locksmith, Silas, worked the Sanicula key and with ample caveats that there are few good comparative images online, pronounced it may be Sanicula orthacantha.  Rare or absent in cultivation despite it ranging from India through China into Vietnam and Cambodia.  Shade and moist.  Zone 6 or lower.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far Reaches Farm","offers":[{"title":"Large Band Pot","offer_id":52457409118490,"sku":"P5801","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/1212\/7258\/files\/photo_coming-001_1_0da7b989-587a-461e-bf94-fe361af02fcf.jpg?v=1784221172","url":"https:\/\/farreachesfarm.com\/products\/sanicula-sp-md-15-65","provider":"Far Reaches Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
