English Name: Creeping buttercupDescription: Perennial plant. The rhizome short; roots corded and filamentous. Stems erect or laid down, 10 - 15 cm tall, basically unblinked in the form of a bulb or tuber, sometimes with long, rooted and rooted shoots or the plant only with such shoots, often rooted and in the nodes, longitudinally striated, simple or slightly branched, bare or weakly fibrous. The basal leaves 1 - 2 times triple cut, with long stems; the shares are almost entire or jagged, with short or long stems. Stem leaves similar to the basal; the uppermost ones sitting down. The blossom stems are long, striped. Blossoms 2.0 - 3.0 cm in diameter. The petals are golden-yellow and shiny, 2 times longer than the calyx, during flowering, upright and adhering to the petals. The sepals are oblong oval, spread out. Fruitful beds, rounded, with rags. The walnuts are three millimeters long, rounded, ovate, flat, with small pores to the edges; a little nose short, straight or rarely curved bow.

Ranunculus repens, the creeping buttercup, is a flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native to Europe, Asia and northwestern Africa.[1][2] It is also called creeping crowfoot and (along with restharrow) sitfast.[3]Description
It is a herbaceous, stoloniferous perennial plant growing to 50 cm tall. It has both prostrate running stems, which produce roots and new plants at the nodes, and more or less erect flowering stems. The basal leaves are compound, borne on a 4–20 cm long petiole and divided into three broad leaflets 1.5–8 cm long, shallowly to deeply lobed, each of which is stalked.[4] The leaves higher on the stems are smaller, with narrower leaflets and may be simple and lanceolate. Both the stems and the leaves are finely hairy. The flowers are golden yellow, glossy, and 2–3 cm diameter, usually with five petals, and the flower stem is finely grooved. The gloss is caused by the smooth upper surface of the petal that acts like a mirror; the gloss aids in attracting pollinating insects and thermoregulation of the flower's reproductive organs.[5][6] The fruit is a cluster of achenes 2.5–4 mm long. Creeping buttercup has three-lobed dark green, white-spotted leaves that grow out of the node. It grows in fields and pastures and prefers wet soil.[7][8]
Habitat
In Ireland: very common in damp places, ditches and flooded areas.[4][9]
