A
south-east European plant which has long been naturalised in many
places, on the edges of woods, beneath hedgerows and in shrubberies.
It has an extensively creeping rootstock, stems rising to about
a foot, and smooth, oval, evergreen leaves. The beautiful golden
flowers, three inches across, have a great number of very prominent
stamens, united at the base into five bundles. July to September
is the time of flowering.
