I browsed the available Ranunculus pix on the EFI site, and I can understand now that leaf shape/size and side view is critical for identification. Will be more mindful of this in the future. Attaching another photo from the same location in which the pedicel is visible. - Arvind <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2N9wlqUxYyo/V9xaPeXFdEI/AAAAAAAAAmI/OusRjJJyRM4ATv-f-thE486khp5EWTdZQCLcB/s1600/IMG_2946.JPG> On Friday, September 16, 2016 at 12:39:31 AM UTC-7, D.S Rawat wrote: > > Arvind Kumar Ji > The flower in the picture looks a Ranunculus species.
