Semiaquilegia is a genus of flowering plants of the family Ranunculaceae, native to eastern Asia. The genus was first proposed by the botanist Tomitaro Makino in 1902. Most authorities generally hold that there is only one species in the genus, Semiaquilegia adoxoides, though other species have been proposed as members. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew's Plants of the World Online accepts four species of Semiaquilegia.
According to the Alpine Garden Society, Semiaquilegia are well-suited to pot cultivation at alpine houses. The plants require well-drained soil and can be short-lived. Propagation can be achieved by sowing seeds when they are fresh and in the spring. Division can also be used in propagation, if performed carefully.
Semiaquilegia is native to East Asia. If the genus is understood as only encompassing Semiaquilegia adoxoides, its range extends across China, Japan, and Korea.
