Ranunculus asiaticus, the Persian buttercup, is a species of buttercup (Ranunculus) native to the eastern Mediterranean region, southwestern Asia, southeastern Europe (Crete, Karpathos and Rhodes), and northeastern Africa.[1]
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing up to 45 cm tall, with simple or branched stems. The basal leaves are three-lobed, with leaves higher on the stems more deeply divided; like the stems, they are downy or hairy. The flowers are 3–5 cm in diameter, variably red to pink, yellow, or white, with one to several flowers on each stem.[2]
It is a protected species in some jurisdictions, including Israel and Palestine.[3]
