I won't pretend to be a smart person, I just happen to have handy a copy 
of the Concise Brit ish Flora in Colour - Caltha palustris is Marsh 
Marigold, Kingcup or Mollyblobs - I've never heard the 3rd common name, 
which sounds lovely. As a child, we always called them either of the 
first two names.
