RE: buttercup?

Aha.  Exactly.  Stylophorum diphyllum, according to the internet (I finally
got on).  Aka wood poppy or celandine poppy. See also
http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/ias/poppy.html and
http://eds.mounet.com/~jdye/poppy.html

These don't have the best pictures of the foliage, which I think is very
special, but at least give a start for identification purposes.

   A root is a flower that disdains fame.
