Ranunculus Lobatus

Lobed buttercup, scientifically known as Ranunculus lobatus, is a striking member of the buttercup family native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. This plant is characterized by its delicate, palmately lobed leaves and bright yellow flowers that bloom in early spring. It thrives in moist, shady environments such as woodlands and stream banks, often carpeting the ground with its vibrant blooms. Despite its beauty, the Lobed buttercup contains toxic compounds, making it a plant to admire from a distance. Its ecological importance lies in its role as a food source for certain insects and its contribution to biodiversity in its native habitats.
