Ranunculus setaceus
(simple-leaf buttercup) is a small,
uncommon alpine herb. It is grows in alpine streams or
depressions prone to flooding. The plant forms clusters of
small rosettes. The leaves are quite distinctive within the
genus - they are usually very narrow, 3-6cm long and usually
unlobed, so that the rosettes look like a small monocot. It
has very small, pale green flowers about 8mm wide. They are
solitary on stalks shorter than the leaves. |
