Ranunculus decurvus (includes R. concinnus; Ranunculaceae) 1:15

Ranunculus decurvus (nodding buttercup) is widespread and common native species in wet places in alpine and subalpine Tasmania.  The leaves are in a radical rosette, and are pinnate, with 3-5 broad, hairy leaflets. There is a single, yellow-green flower held on a short stalk (much shorter than the leaves when in flower, but elongating in fruit). It is similar to R. pimpinellifolius, which, however, has golden yellow instead of green-yellow flowers and longer flowering stalks (about 2-12cm).
