That's right, I think the herb/weed in question is in the Buttercup
family. It doesn't have the nice yellow flowers though. I don't know the
species name.
Again, I could be wrong, just throwing out my $0.02 worth.

Ranunculus? That's the genus that buttercups are in.

We have Ranunculus "weeds" in and around the garden (R. acris, I
believe), but they have an obvious yellow flower (not blooming yet this
year, but soon). They're common in pastures and meadows.
