The common name "buttercup" comes from a traditional legend that adding buttercups to a cow's diet gives its butter a golden color. Ironically, most buttercups actually contain a poison that eventually harms grazing animals such as cattle. The genus name "Ranunculus" comes from the Latin word for "little frog," since many types of buttercup flourish in marshy ground. The species name "occidentalis" means "western," indicating this plant's native region.Starting at $2.50 USD
