A scarce plant of ditches and the margins of slow-moving water. Flower diameter c 7-12 mm ID: Flowers like buttercups but white with yellow centres and the petals well-separated. Leaves divided into threadlike segments. Other features: Several other very similar species occur, but these have the petals nearly touching or even overlapping. Also in R trichophyllus the first two divisions of the leaves are usually into threes, and there are no "floating leaves" (i.e. rather buttercup-like non-threadlike leaves), |
