The flowering period extends from June to July.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 16.

Occurrence

The species occurs in the eastern central Alps and the mountains of Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria and Romania. It loves acids and grows on moist lawns, in alpine rock mats and on the edge of melting snow at altitudes of 1750 to 2400 meters.

The notched buttercup is the character and name-giving species of the plant-sociological association Ranunculion crenati , which includes the southeast Dinaric snow- soil vegetation on silicate.
