Thread-leaved Water-crowfoot
Ranunculus trichophyllus
Néal uisce ribeach
Family: Ranunculaceae

Flowering April - September. Aquatic perennial. Native.

White flowers, the petals with a yellow base. Young achenes are hairy and the young fruits are without short bristles. Laminal leaves are absent and the thread-like capillary leaves on the central section of stem are shorter than the adjacent internodes.

Found in still or slow-moving, shallow water in ditches, pools and at lake edges where it can be semi-terrestrial on wet mud.
