This is a winter season herb, though I could not record it from anywhere else than a single locality of Morni Hills in Haryana, Ranunculus arvensis... Very specific achenes with hooked spines on margin. Never seen in Uttarakhand, though known to occur here. Nice upload.
Ranunculus arvensis ABAPR2017/04 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5) I found these growing among the wheat crops at about 1900m. The size of the flowers, leaves and the claw-like pods point to R. arvensis. Please advise. Ranunculus arvensis Above Dal Lake, Dharamshala, HP 1900m approx. 08 April 2017 Of course it is Ranunculus arvensis...
