BUTTERCUP

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 890 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BUTTERCUP , a name applied to several species of the genus Ranunculus (q.v.), characterized by their deeply-cut leaves and yellow, broadly cup-shaped
flowers
 . Ranunculus acris and R. bkdbosus are erect, hairy meadow
plants
 , the latter having the
stem
  swollen at the
base
 , and distinguished also by the furrowed flower-stalks and the often smaller
flowers
  with reflexed, not spreading, sepals. R. repens, common on
waste
  ground, produces
long
  runners by means of which it rapidly covers the ground. The
plants
  are native in the
north
  temperate to
arctic
  zones of the Old World, and have been introduced in America.
