Kidney Leaf Buttercup

Kidney Leaf Buttercup and Small Flower Crowfoot are names for this plant. Both names refer to the shape of the leaves. The lower leaves are very rounded, and the leaves on the upper stem can be deeply lobed. The flower is less than a quarter inch in size and it really doesn't look like a member of the Buttercup family, but if you look closely, you will see the numerous stamen and pistils that is typical of other Buttercups.

Where I found it : In the woods near a small stream
