Alpine Buttercup (Ranunculus alpestris)
Description:
The alpine buttercup (Ranunculus alpestris) is a low, glabrous white-flowered buttercup with shiny basal, 3-5-lobed leaves; the lobes are divided one to two thirds deeply and are broad. The base of the leaf blade is truncate or cordate.
It grows in the subalpine and alpine belts of the European mountains, flowers from May to August.
It is not common in our country, grows in the eastern Karawanks, e.g. on Uršlja gora, more frequent in other parts of the Alps where there is no limestone.

We distinguish alpine buttercup from similar kuepfer's and traunfellner's by the leaves. Alpine is rare with us, traunfellner's is common. Alpine is supposed to grow in Karavanks around Stol. I think I haven't found it yet. This on the picture is not alpine.
