Ranunculus nivalis, the snow buttercup,[1] is a species of plant in the family Ranunculaceae. It is a perennial herb that grows up to 9 in (23 cm).[2] It grows in wet alpine meadows, cliffs and streamsides.[2] It displays prevalent heliotropism, thus gaining an advantage in its harsh, cold environment through capturing more solar energy by following the sun.
