Etymology
Ranunculus comes from the Latin parts rana meaning 'frog' and -culus meaning 'little', so it literally means 'little frog' because these plants often grow in wet places where frogs live. So, thinking of a 'little frog' helps you remember that Ranunculus includes buttercups and other flowers that like marshy ground.
