Ranunculus ficaria
Lesser celandine is a low-growing, hairless perennial plant, with fleshy dark green, heart-shaped leaves. The flowers are distinctive and bright yellow.
The plant is found throughout Europe and west Asia and is now introduced in North America, where it is often considered invasive. It prefers bare, damp ground and in the UK it can be seen as a common garden plant, an early harbinger of Spring.
