Rawat Ji, Thank you for the helpful clue. 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.
