Ranunculus Gyratidens

The ranunculus gyratidens is a rare and ancient plant species with a unique evolutionary history. Found primarily in fossil records from the early cretaceous period, it offers insights into prehistoric plant life. Its name derives from the latin words for whirl and tooth, referencing its distinctive spiral-shaped seed structure. This plant is notable for its role in understanding early angiosperm evolution. Studying ranunculus gyratidens helps scientists trace the development of flowering plants over millions of years.
