Richardson's anemone
Definition
A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the family Ranunculaceae, with an arctic and alpine distribution, native to the cold regions of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Siberia. This small plant grows in moist habitats, such as tundras, bogs, and stream banks, standing out due to its slender, yellow, creeping rhizomes, deeply three-lobed basal leaves, and solitary bright yellow flowers supported by delicate stems.
