Ranunculus uncinatus D. Don[FNA3, HC, HC2]
little buttercup
Publication: Gen. Hist. 1: 35. 1831.
Origin: Native
selected vouchers: WTU
Notes: FNA3: "Plants with hispid stems and achenes are often separated as Ranunculus uncinatus var. parviflorus ; these two characters are poorly correlated, however, and sometimes vary between plants in a single collection. Ranunculus uncinatus was reported from northeastern Alberta and adjacent Northwest Territories by H. J. Scoggan (1978-1979, part 3). The specimens have hairy receptacles and straight, broad achene beaks; they apparently represent small individuals of R . macounii ."
