Differences between Buttercup and Bayberry

1. Differences in plants:

The Ranunculus plant is relatively tall, with the maximum height reaching 70 cm. Its stem stands straight and upright. It is a perennial herb with many tiny fibrous roots at the base of the plant that grow in clusters.

The height of the water bayberry plant is about 60 to 100 cm. The rhizome is slightly large and very short, and it also has many small fibrous roots.

2. Differences on the leaves:

The leaves of the former are circular or five-pointed star-shaped, with various types and styles, and some may be truncated at the base.

The latter has leaves with long petioles that split outward like feathers. The lobes are of varying sizes, with the top lobe being large, with rough edges and serrated cracks.
