This member of the Ranunculaceae family was given this name by William Hudson in 1762. It is found in Europe, northern Africa, Asia and now also in North America, growing in a rich soil with quite some water and some sun. The bulbs can grow to one centimetres in diameter, the entire plant from ten to 30 centimetres in height. The flowers are yellow.
The genera name means 'concerning figs'. The species name means 'pertaining to spring.' as it is flowering in the spring. This is an early spring-grower.
