  Ranunculaceae Week: Helleborus orientalis from California:
Helleborus orientalis Lam., Encycl. 3:96. 1789 syn; Helleborus caucasicus A. Braun. Evergreen herbaceous to shrubby plant with leaves sharply serrate leaves with 7-9 segments; flowers cream on opening, fading to brown, up to 7 cm across. Photographed from SFO Botanical Garden in California in July 2008.
Common name: Lenten rose I am here attaching the pictures of male and female flowers taken at Cambridge. Is my plant of the same species of Helleborus sp. or a different one? Please clarify sir.
Not male and female flowers. In the first photograph the stamens have and are falling off. You can still see a few stamens in the second flower.
Your plant with white flowers looks different. The closest I can think is H. niger (white flowers suffused with pink, and green petals shorter than stamens), but more than one flower on peduncle is discouraging this conclusion. .  Garden Plant for ID : Srinagar : 300612 : AK-1: Difficult without flowers but wild guess for Helleborus I hope Helleborus orientalis, looking at leaf margins
