Ranunculus sceleratus
Family : Ranunculaceae
Celery-leaved Buttercup
26/119 : Native
Fairly frequent in suitably damp places. There still seems to be a viable seed bank of this plant in local soils as it often seems to crop-up when land is disturbed.

J F Robinson 1902: "Very common in muddy dykes near Hull ..."
