Buttercups, scientifically known as Ranunculus abortivus, are found at Randolph Henry High School near fences. This flowering plant contains an irritant oil, protoanemonin, which can be harmful to livestock, although it is not highly toxic. Adult plants tend to have higher toxin levels than younger ones. The toxin is primarily located in the stems and leaves. Buttercups thrive throughout the year, with notable growth occurring in the spring and summer seasons. Awareness of their toxicity is crucial for livestock owners and gardeners.
