Question
Hi! Found this plant in SE CT. There was no flower but the leaves were lobed and the stem was heavily pubescent. The plant was in upland forest growing next to a rock. Thanks
Answer
Dear eehrlich11, good morning. You have photographed, most likely, the basal leaves of Ranunculus recurvatus (hooked crowfoot). This native species has lobed leaves with an outline much like you have captured here in your images. If you examine other pictures online, I think you will note the similarity. Best wishes.
