Ranunculus glacialis, the glacier buttercup[1] or glacier crowfoot, is a plant of the family Ranunculaceae. It is a 5-10(-20) cm high perennial herb. Often with a single relatively large (1.8 - 3.8 cm) flower, with 5 petals first white later pink or reddish. The underside of the 5 sepals are densely brown-hairy. The leaves are fleshy, shiny, and deeply loped, forming 3 leaflets.[2][3]Ranunculus glacialis reported (from Greenland material) to have a diploidchromosome number of 2n = 16.[2]
