  1. This is a Ranunculus flower because the carpels are clustered in a dome-shaped formation and the stigmas are on curved outward facing hooks. Caltha palustris has carpels that are loosely arranged and with the stigma obliquely positioned and facing inward. Posted 6 years ago

"Caltha palustris", known as marsh-marigold and kingcup, is a small to medium size perennial herbaceous plant of the buttercup family, native to marshes, fens, ditches and wet woodland in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It flowers between April and August, dependent on altitude and latitude, but occasional flowers may occur at other times.
