The Marsh Markgold (Caltha Palustris /

Leptosepala):
Caltha leptosepala (Marsh Marigold) is a species of flowering
plant in the buttercup family. It is native to western North
America from Alaska to New Mexico, where it grows in wet
mountain habitats in alpine and subalpine regions. There are
two general wild types of this species, one native to the

interior and one that grows along the Pacific coast and coastal
mountains, but these are not always treated separately.[1]
