A toxic organic compound found in anemone plants that causes irritation and burning sensations when the plant is touched or ingested.
Derived from anemone plus the chemical suffix -in, indicating it is a natural compound extracted from or produced by anemone plants.
Anemonin is nature's alarm system—anemone plants produce it as a chemical weapon to protect themselves from being eaten, and it's so irritating that it actually converts into a different, less toxic compound when the plant dries out.
