I noticed many of these flowers on an alpine hike in the Lake O'Hara area in Yoho National Park. From what I can determine, it had six petals. I assume that it is some kind of ranunculus, but I am having difficulty matching the leaves and flower colour to a particular species. Could this be a white ranunculus eschscholtzii, alpine buttercup? Thanks for your help.
It's Anemone lithophila. Edit: For next time, Ranunculus eschscholtzii has yellow flowers, as do many of the native Ranunculus here. Among native Anemone, only Anemone richardsonii has yellow flowers.
