Ranunculus omiophyllus
- Round-leaved Ranunculus
Found mainly in shallow
streams and ditches, and sometimes in shallow ponds and puddles, this creeping plant blooms from April to
September and has tiny flowers a quarter the size of those generslly associated with river ranunculus species.
There are several similar species, including ivy-leaved crowfoot, all of which have a preference for still or slow-flowing shallow
water.
One of the reasons for the River
Teifi's designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest is its diversity and
abundance of Ranunculus species.
