White buttercup isn't a true Buttercup, but a member of the passionflower family. It's a common garden flower with attractive white and yellow flowers. White buttercup has commercial uses too since it is planted around palm oil plantations, where it is a host plant for insects that eat the worms that damage palm trees. This natural solution reduces the need for pesticides.
