Description

It grows in the forests of most continental Europe and less frequently in the Mediterranean region of the northern hemisphere. Growing to 5–15 centimetres tall, the plant is herbaceous, dying back down to its root-like rhizomes by mid summer. The rhizomes spread just below the earth surface and multiply quickly, contributing to its rapid spread in woodland conditions. The flower is about 1.5 centimetres diameter, with from five to eight petal-like segments (actually tepals) of rich yellow colouring.
