''Ranunculus acraeus'', more commonly known as Alpine Buttercup, is a species of the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, found in New Zealand. This rare and native species of the buttercup strictly grows on an alpine habitat therefore its name ''Ranunculus acraeus''. The genus ''Ranunculus'' includes buttercups and ''acraeus'' means 'on high.' The plant grows about half a meter in width and is covered in beautiful, bright yellow flowers. It may be mistaken for the ''R. piliferus'' but research has shown the ''R. acraeus'' to be its own distinctive species.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New alpine buttercup revealed )〕 This species of buttercup is endemic to high altitudes. ==Discovery== The buttercup was first discovered in 1940 but it was mistaken for a subspecies of the ''R. haastii''. In 1998, a gardener saw the plant during a hike in Mount St. Mary in North Otago and took it to a botanist. The botanist validated that it is a new species.〔 .
