Ranunculus Acris Var. Borealis

Alpine buttercup, scientifically known as Ranunculus acris var. borealis, is a striking plant that thrives in the harsh environments of high altitudes. With its bright yellow flowers and delicate foliage, it adds a touch of color to the rocky slopes and meadows of mountainous regions. This variant of the common buttercup is adapted to cold climates and is often found in the Arctic and subarctic zones. Its unique characteristics make it a symbol of resilience in extreme conditions. Despite its beauty, it remains a relatively obscure species among botanists and nature enthusiasts.
