The large white buttercup is an herbaceous plant 30 – 100 cm tall, with glabrous stem with many branches.[1]
The leaves are palmate, each divided into five segments with dentate margin. Flowers are organized into cymes; each flower has a calyx with five sepals, a corolla with five white petals, many stamens with yellow anthers and many styles.[1]
