Pulsatilla turczaninovii is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to Siberia, Mongolia, and northern China. The common name pasque flower refers to the spring-blooming period of the Pulsatilla genus, which typically coincides with Easter (Passover). Derived from the Old French word pasque (Easter), it is often called the Easter flower. Like most cold climate plants, the pasque flower grow close to the ground and covered with downy, insulative hairs. Pulsatilla turczaninovii is named after Nikolai Turchaninov, traditionally spelled Turczaninow (1796–1864), a Russian botanist and plant collector.
