Buttercups have five to six pedals or sepals. Sepals are the "fake" petals, that will take over if the flower loses a pedal. But some Buttercups only have sepals for pedals and those are called fake buttercups. In the very middle of the Buttercup are many elongate pistils that are surrounded by stamens that may have threadlike tapering styles. The fruit of the buttercup is either an achene or follicle. But in some varities of Buttercups there are actually berries as the fruits.[http://www.voyageur.drake.edu/Wacha/buttercup_family/buttercup_flower_family.html#anchor24741708] | Buttercups have five to six pedals or sepals.
