White caltha (Caltha obtusa)

White caltha

White caltha is a marsh-dwelling herbaceous perennial known for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves that emerge in early spring. The plant bears bright, buttercup-like flowers, which shine conspicuously against the wetland's greenery. Adapted to boggy soils, white caltha's roots system is adept at absorbing nutrients in low-oxygen environments, a distinctive trait that aids its survival in waterlogged habitats.
