Ranunculus nivalis, also known as the snow buttercup, is a type of plant found in the Ranunculaceae family. This perennial herb can grow up to 9 inches and is commonly found in wet alpine meadows, cliffs, and streamsides. One of its unique characteristics is its heliotropism, which allows it to follow the sun and capture more solar energy in its harsh, cold environment. This gives it an advantage in survival and growth.
