Context Explanation
All Ranunculus (buttercup) species are poisonous when eaten fresh, but their acrid taste and the blistering of the mouth caused by their poison means they are usually left uneaten. Hairy buttercup (R. sardous) often outcompetes the lawn, especially in moist areas in the shade. Originally from Europe and North Africa, the plants have deeply lobed trifoliate leaves, hairy foliage, and five-petaled, glossy yellow flowers that appear at the end of tall stalks.
