Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens L.) probably is the most
troublesome of several members of the buttercup family
that are weeds in the Pacific Northwest. There are
many native species of buttercup in the Pacific Northwest,
but the weedy species are of European origin. It’s
likely that they were introduced as ornamentals but escaped to
become weeds throughout the United States.
