Fairly frequent in Argyll and on the Western Isles, rare in Skye and on the mainland northwards. On wet mud or in shallow water. Flower diameter c 3-8 mm ID: Buttercup-like flowers but with white petals with yellow centres. Leaf-shape as shown, the lobes broadest at their base. (if lobes pinched in at base, then R omiophyllus) Other features: Petals well separated, not much longer than sepals (flower in picture is past its best). Unlike many Water-crowfoots, it has no thread-like submerged leaves. |
