Creeping Buttercup
(Ranunculus repens L.)
|
Several
kinds of buttercup grow in the meadows and this is one of the
most abundant. It is especially fond of a damp clay soil and in
some districts becomes a nuisance as a garden weed. The creeping
buttercup spreads by means of long runners which root and form
new plants. The flowering stems rise to from one to two feet and
the familiar yellow flowers appear from May until the autumn.
