Creeping buttercup. There are many types of buttercups in our area, but this one is easily distinguished because of the light spots dappling its leaves. You can see this on the leaf in the bottom center of the picture (it looks a bit like a carrot leaf). This flower sprouts up from a vine that grows horizontally along the ground, thus the "creeping" in its name.
Growing in the marshy ground at the margin of the west side of the Lake, Central Park.
