| Ranunculus glacialis L. |
Ranunculus glacialis, the glacier crowfoot or glacier buttercup, is a plant of the family Ranunculaceae. It is an arctic-alpine species, found in the high mountains of southern Europe (Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, Sierra Nevada) as well as on the Scandinavian peninsula, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Jan Mayen, Svalbard and eastern Greenland. It is by many accounts the highest ascending plant in the Alps, flowering at over 4,000 m. A second subspecies, subsp. chamissonis, is found on either side of the Bering Strait.
