 buttercup - HighBeam Encyclopedia
BUTTERCUP [buttercup] or crowfoot, common name for the Ranunculaceae, a family of chiefly annual or perennial herbs of cool regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
Thought to be one of the most primitive families of dicotyledenous plants, the Ranunculaceae typically have a simple flower structure in which each flower part may be separate rather than fused into a single organ (see flower).
The buttercup family is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Ranunculales.

 Bulbous Buttercup
The buttercups are common weeds of turfgrass, lawns, pastures, hay fields, and occasionally landscapes.
Cotyledons occur on petioles and are oval to elliptic in outline.
The distinctive buttercup flowers, leaves that are divided into 3 parts, and thickened 'bulbous' base are all characteristics that help to distinguish bulbous buttercup from other similar species.

 Creeping Woodsorrel and Bermuda Buttercup Management Guidelines--UC IPM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Bermuda buttercup has been cultivated as an ornamental, and though it is sometimes found in lawns, it usually is only a problem in gardens or shrub areas.
Bermuda buttercup reproduces primarily by means of bulbs and spreads when soil contaminated with the bulbs is moved to uninfested areas.
Bermuda buttercup is not as invasive as creeping woodsorrel because it spreads primarily from bulbs; however, it is for this reason that it is more difficult to control than creeping woodsorrel.

 Swamp Buttercup (Ranunculus septentrionalis)
It is possible to confuse Swamp Buttercup with similar species, especially Ranunculus hispidus (Hispid Buttercup), Ranunculus carolinianus (Carolina Buttercup), and the introduced Ranunculus repens (Creeping Buttercup).
Unlike Swamp Buttercup, the stems of Hispid Buttercup have spreading hairs and they are not stoloniferous.
Creeping Buttercup has stoloniferous stems like Swamp Buttercup, but its leaves are less deeply cleft and often splotched with white, while its achenes are less flattened than those of Swamp Buttercup.

 Ranunculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It includes the buttercups, spearworts, water crowfoots and the lesser celandine (but not the greater celandine of the poppy family Papaveraceae).
Buttercups usually flower in April or May but flowers may be found throughout the summer especially where the plants are growing as opportunistic colonisers as in the case of garden weeds.
When Ranunculus plants are handled, naturally occurring ranunculin is broken down to form protoanemonin which is known to cause contact dermatitis in humans and care should therefore be excercised in excessive handling of the plants[1].

 Creeping buttercup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) is a flowering plant in the Buttercup family, native to Europe and the Pacific Northwest.
Creeping buttercup can be differentiated from other buttercups because the flowers produced are often larger than many other Ranuncules [2] (although in poor conditions the flowers may be as small as 10 mm diameter), there are stolons, and it is very low-lying.
Creeping buttercup is native to Europe and the Pacific Northwest but was sold in many parts of the world as an ornamental flower [3].

 botanical.com - A Modern Herbal | Buttercup, Bulbous - Herb Profile and Information
The Bulbous Buttercup or Crowfoot is perhaps the commonest of the Ranunculus family, covering the meadows in May with dazzling yellow, being one of the earliest of the varieties to flower, owing to the nourishment stored up in the bulbs.
---Medicinal Action and Uses---Like most of the Crowfoots, the Bulbous Buttercup possesses the property of inflaming and blistering the skin, particularly the roots, which are said to raise blisters with less pain and greater safety than Spanish Fly, and have been applied for that purpose, especially to the joints, in gout.
This should be taken into account as some of the information may now be considered inaccurate, or not in accordance with modern medicine.
