		Creeping buttercup is native to Europe but was sold in many parts of the world as an ornamental [3].

	Creeping Woodsorrel and Bermuda Buttercup Management Guidelines--UC IPM
		The leaves of creeping woodsorrel are composed of three heart-shaped leaflets that are attached to the tip of a long stem (petiole).
		Flowers of creeping woodsorrel can be found almost anytime during the year and have five small yellow petals (1/8 to 1/3-inch long) that occur in clusters of one to five at the ends of slender flower stalks.
		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.

	Buttercup: A Beautiful But Toxic Wildflower of Pastures
		There is also a buttercup species (R. repens) that is native to North America and is known as creeping buttercup.
		The main differences are in growth pattern and means of propagation: common buttercup is erect, 2-3 feet tall, and reproduces by seed, whereas the creeping variety may stay as short as 6- 12 inches, with 1-2 foot long, prostrate runners that take root at each node, and can propagate by either seed or stolon.
		Since antiquity, the juice from the fresh stems, leaves, and roots of both buttercups, have been used in caustic external preparations for the removal of warts and parasites (mites and ringworm) on animals and humans, as a topical analgesic for arthritis, rheumatism, and migraines, and in poultices for the treatment of boils and abscesses.
