DESCRIPTION

Botanical Glossary
Ranunculus ficaria is an herbaceous perennial that behaves as a ground cover. This set sums 10-30 cm (4-12 in.) long. It is a ricochet ephemeral that grows from a cluster of tuberous roots in novel winter or early spring. The glossy, dark light-green (sometimes slightly mottled), fleshy leaves ar on long petioles, and are cordate to oblong-cordate in shape. The margins can be entire or wavy. The lower leaves are usually opposite in their arrangement. The leaves measure 1.8-3.7 cm (0.7-1.5 in.) long and 2-4 cm (0.75-1.5 in.) wide. The above ground passel of this plant dies back sometime in June. The glossy flowers of this plant are bright yellow and have 8-12 narrowly simple petals.



The flowers measure 1-2 cm (0.4-0.75 in.) across and appear in late April to early May. The head of the achenes is globose in shape and measures about(predicate) 7 mm (0.28 in.) across. The achenes are pubescent and without a beak. Ranunculus ficaria also produces under ground, spheric or ellipsoid bulbils which attend to in its dispersal.
