Popular Article: Buttercup
Buttercup is the common name for any of the members in the large plant genus Ranunculus in the flowering plant family Ranunculaceae, typically characterized by glossy yellow or white flowers with a yellow center. The bright yellow flowers gave rise to the name buttercup, while the deeply toothed or lobed leaves have led to the generally interchangeable common name crowfoots also being applied to plants of this genus. A few species have orange or red flowers and occasionally, as in R. auricomus, petals may be absent.
