Hairy buttercup (Ranunculus sardous)

Hairy buttercup (Ranunculus sardous) originates from Europe and North Africa, including the Canary Islands. Over time, it has spread globally, largely due to human activities such as farming and international trade. This weed, recognizable by its hairy stems and leaves, often invades pastures, fields, and roadsides. Its yellow flowers are now a common sight in many temperate regions across the world, including North America, Australia, and New Zealand.
