Question
Hi, This small colony of aquatic plants was found in SE CT in a freshwater forested wetland. The plant had heavily dissected leaves. It appears that there are two types of leaves, very fine, hairlike and wider leaves with a single central vein. My opinion would be Ranunculus flabellaris. This was found in early March and there were no flowers present.
Answer
Dear eehrlich11, Good afternoon. I believe you are correct, that this plant is Ranunculus flabellaris (greater yellow water crowfoot). The alternate leaves with flattened blade segments are a good clue to its identification.
