| Ranunculus glaberrimus Hook. |
Sagebrush Buttercup (Ranunculus glaberrimus) is a small plant of sagebrush country, in the western U.S. It prefers habitat near junipers (Juniperus occidentalis) and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) in damp ground. It is among the first flowers to bloom after the snow has melted. One may recognise it because of its bright yellow flowers with usu. five glossy petals, and the oval-shaped leaves, sometimes with rounded teeth at the end.
Like many members of the buttercup family to which is belongs, it is somewhat poisonous.
