Ranunculus paludosus

الوصف النباتي

Morphology: In Mouterde’s regional treatment: perennial with short, thickly clustered tuberous roots and a characteristic dense network of fibres around the crown. Stems usually simple, sometimes slightly branched, 10–40 cm tall, with short soft hairs. Basal leaves variable: outer leaves entire or little divided, others cut into numerous narrow, more or less stalked segments; sometimes all basal leaves are deeply divided. Stem leaves short, divided into linear strips. Sepals green, appressed or spreading, sometimes slightly reflexed. Petals broad and relatively large. Stamens yellow, with long filaments. Numerous achenes form an oblong or cylindrical head; they are glabrous or slightly hairy, finely dotted, strongly margined and keeled, tapering into a triangular or awl-shaped beak that is straight or somewhat curved, often hooked. This account follows Mouterde’s broader circumscription; see the taxonomic note.
